"The rule of siblings: if your siblings get something you want, you try to take it, break it, or say it's no good." Patricia Fleming
Four siblings inherit their Mom's house full of stuff. And they all want the same item. What could possibly go wrong?
When Courtney claims a long-forgotten sugar bowl as a memento of her late mother, suddenly the law of siblings kicks in. Twins Brando and Brandi and sister Mona want the bowl too-and they'll do what it takes to have it or go down in flames trying.
Fueled by grief and sentimentality, squabbles erupt as the four slip into childhood roles and reignite birth-order rivalry. Facing emotional issues and tough decisions, Courtney and her siblings are soon caught in an endless round of estate whack-a-mole.
With tensions rising around their Mom's memorial service, they take turns behaving questionably, resulting in a series of surprising, shocking and sometimes hilarious family moments.
Set in small-town Nova Scotia and told with compassion, frankness and humor, The Sugar Bowl Feud explores the overwhelming grip of grief through the eyes of each sibling as they try to cope with loss and move forward with their lives. But is the family foundation strong enough to survive?
If you like well-drawn characters-from flawed and poignant, to lovable and amusing-along with brisk pacing and a side order of humor, you'll love The Sugar Bowl Feud.
"Sibling Behavior at its best and worst and truly laugh-out-loud-funny." Dana D., Toronto
