From the back cover
Danielle sees her sister-in-law Jessica's post praising her mother's homemade BBQ sauce and asks her mother to mail her a couple of jars. Her mother ignores the message all day, then calls to demand fifty dollars for the sauce, insisting she is on a fixed income. When Danielle points out that Jessica received more than a dozen jars for free, her mother turns angry and unleashes years of disappointment, comparing Danielle unfavorably to Jessica and mocking her husband Mark's modest job and family.
Humiliated, Danielle ends the call in tears and hides her pain from Mark when he comes home with a treat. That night her brother Kevin storms into their house, accusing Danielle of making their mother cry and belittling Mark for not even buying his wife a bottle of sauce. Mark defends Danielle calmly until Kevin declares she was always less than Jessica in the family, and Mark's fist sends him to the floor.
Kevin flees with threats, and Mark holds Danielle, telling her not to worry. But Kevin is vindictive, and Danielle fears what he will do next.
Inside the book Opening excerpt
She didn't text back all day. That evening, she called.
"So, do you still want that BBQ sauce or not? If you do, you can Venmo me fifty bucks. You know how expensive a good brisket is, honey. I’m on a fixed income."
**1**
Hearing my mom's voice on the other end of the line, I just went silent.
Earlier that afternoon, I’d seen the post from Jessica, my brother's wife. It was a picture of perfectly glazed ribs, with the caption, "Nothing beats my mother-in-law's secret recipe BBQ sauce! So good!"
