November Book of the Month:  

Beautiful, Dirty, Rich  by J.D. Mason

A gripping new novel from bestselling author J.D. Mason about a wealthy Texas family and the one woman who holds— and will reveal—all their dirty secrets

Desdimona Green has been the name on everyone’s lips in Blink, Texas. Twenty-five years ago, at the age of eighteen, she shot and killed one of the wealthiest men and pillars of the community, oil baron Julian Gatewood.

The Gatewood family was considered untouchable, so the whole state of Texas was rocked to its core over Julian’s murder. They were even more shocked to discover that Desi is Julian’s daughter and her mother had been his lover for years.

But when Desi gets out of jail and promptly inherits millions from Julian’s estate, everyone knows that there is much more to the story—and Desi Green is the keeper of the Gatewood secrets, including what happened the night Julian died.

When a famous true crime reporter shows up on her doorstep wanting the full story, Desi agrees to reveal all, much to the horror of the Gatewoods, who will do anything to stop her. But Desi has more than a few tricks up her sleeve...

Other Sisters Sippin' Tea News:

Tulsa SST Chapter's 9th Annual Books and Brunch yielded 540 guests!!!  How awesome are these sistahs??? I attempted to attend and represent Houston Chapter, however, all flights were full, so after waiting 3-4 hrs at Hobby airport, I called Sharon and said "forget about it"! She was very understanding.  Hopefully we can get a group of the Houston chapter to make next years event!

Also, we still need hostess(s) for the January sip!  Please let us know ASAP if you would like to host this sip!  Looking forward to seeing  you ladies at the November Sip.

Sistahly yours
