Hungry Girls...an absorbing commentary on love  family and forgiveness.-The Washington Post A

HelloGiggles and Cosmo! The Mothers meets An American Marriage (HelloGiggles) in this dazzling
debut novel about mothers and daughters  identity and family  and how the relationships that
sustain you can also be the ones that consume you. The Butler family has had their share of
trials-as sisters Althea  Viola  and Lillian can attest-but nothing prepared them for the
literal trial that will upend their lives. Althea  the eldest sister and substitute matriarch 
is a force to be reckoned with and her younger sisters have alternately appreciated and chafed
at her strong will. They are as stunned as the rest of the small community when she and her
husband  Proctor  are arrested  and in a heartbeat the family goes from one of the most
respected in town to utter disgrace. The worst part is  not even her sisters are sure exactly
what happened. As Althea awaits her fate  Lillian and Viola must come together in the house
they grew up in to care for their sister's teenage daughters. What unfolds is a stunning
portrait of the heart and core of an American family in a story that is as page-turning as it
is important.
