Winner of the First Horizon Eric Hoffer Award for superb debut novel, and 2026 Commercial Fiction Award.

Former Miss Crawdad Queen of Houma Parish, Louisiana, Sashé Boudreaux has an eye for fashion, a heart for her community, and some of the best cooking skills in the state.

She delivers home cooked meals to the shut-ins and color coordinates the ladies of Cypress Grove, Louisiana.

Just don’t let her vintage style and Southern twang fool you.

Her mind’s as sharp as her chef’s knife—quick, intuitive, and able to cut to the truth before her rice starts to boil.
