I love these women, every single one of them. They are the kind of women I aspire to be now, even in my 40s, let alone when I am in my 60s. That fierce sense of loyalty and friendship and desire to boost each other up in the face of adversity is the kind of clan every woman needs in her life, even if she doesn't realize it. As we go through the book as they are trying to get revenge for Judith's firing, we see how each woman came to be the strong woman she is today and how she realized that thes

What a delightfully charming book about friendship! These endearing women are a true sisterhood—loving and bickering and teasing and helping each other as much as they can! I found myself wanting to be one of the Gumbeaux Sistahs! I laughed out loud many times, but there are many poignant parts as well. The setting of Covington, Louisiana came to life on every page. This story is lively and lovely, and I can’t wait to read more about this group of women and hopefully meet more friends!
This heartwarming little book is all about friendship, determination, and caring. That it takes place where I live was lagniappe! (A little something extra). Knowing all the places was so much fun! The story line is as uplifting as the characters themselves. This is a light, fun story involves some kooky, over-fifty women with big hearts and determination to get things done. They’re the epitome of the New Orleans spirit. Their distinct personalities make them “Gumbeaux Sistahs” as they cook, dan

Judith is okay alone, but finds out that having Sistahs is much, much, better, especially when together they find the best recipes to soothe the soul. A pinch of love, a dash of laughter and cups of hilarity equal a book that you will not want to put down. I loved every minute and you will too...Don’t forget to make your mama’s Gumbeaux before you sit down to read so that you will experience a heart warming good time on every level :)
Life is better with Gumbeaux!
Take one unemployed art museum director. Add four helpings of open-hearted women. Season with caring and helping. Mix well and dive in!
In the vein of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Jax Frey crafts a clever mystery set in the Covington, LA art world. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and you’ll laugh some more at the antics of The Gumbeaux Sistahs. And if you have any Gumbeaux Sistahs in your life, count yourself especially blessed.

What a delightful story of women supporting women, and supporting their communities. I loved getting to know all the quirkiness of these characters and would like to know more. Added bonus, recipes at the end of the book! You might want to make a pot of Gumbeaux before sitting down with this book.
I laughed, I cried...I want gumbeaux sistahs! Gumbeaux Sistahs, a novel is a wonderful read that stops you from putting it down becuase you have to know what happens next! A true example of friendship and what we all should strive to be. Please check out her site for the book and beautiful art! Jax Art & Gifts!
The story and the characters were good, yet underdeveloped. Although there was a fair amount of redundancy, this local favourite was an easy Saturday afternoon read. I enjoyed the sense of community highlighted. Its YaYa-esque shadowing and location of the story is warming.
Good read
Loved the sistah hood. This is the way women should relate instead of jealousy.
It brought out the best in each person.
