This #BookFaceFriday is a socialite!

The year is 1969 in this week’s #BookFace! “Mr. and Mrs. American Pie” by Juliet McDaniel (‎ Inkshares, 2018) stars notable Palm Springs socialite and beauty queen Maxine Simmons- recently divorced and outcast. She must find, or build a family all on her own to earn the title of Mrs. American Pie. Perfect for comedy lovers, the novel also serves as the inspiration for Apple TV’s “Palm Royale.” It’s available for checkout as an eBook from Nebraska Overdrive Libraries. This oddball adventure, featuring themes of friendship, motherhood, and complicated relationships keeps Finlay and her nanny/partner-in-crime Vero’s story rolling.

“McDaniel’s debut is the perfect blend of salty and sweet, combining 1970s culinary horrors like ham and bananas hollandaise with a motley crew of fakers learning what family really means.”
