 s pleased to welcome author David Valdes Greenwood for an in-store appeara
 nce on Friday\, July 30\, 2010\, from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM where he will rea
 d from and sign his new book\, The Rhinestone Sisterhood: A Journey Throug
 h Small Town America\, One Tiara at a Time.\nOn July 30 at Brazos Bookstor
 e\, hear excerpts from The Rhinestone Sisterhood\, the fun and funky tale 
 of one season among Lousiana festival queens\, in a reading\, signing\, an
 d Q&A with author David Valdes Greenwood in his only Texas appearance. Fol
 low the adventures of the Frog\, Cotton\, Cattle\, and Fur Queens in a boo
 k the San Francisco Book Review calls 'a revelation.'\nThe Rhinestone Sist
 erhood takes us deep into the world of small-town festival queens to captu
 re the true story of four &ldquo\;sisters of the sash&rdquo\;&mdash\;the F
 rog\, Fur\, Cotton\, and Cattle Queens of Louisiana&mdash\;and their quest
  to win the ultimate crown\, Queen of Queens. Traveling across the state\,
  David Valdes Greenwood introduces us to local queens with lives full of p
 ublic speaking\, pig chases\, and pageant politics. We ride with the girls
  during their one-year reign\, where families and boyfriends can be as com
 plicated as judge's panels\, and a queen's dreams may be at the mercy of a
  Category 4 hurricane.\nHigh-spirited yet down-home\, suspenseful and genu
 inely moving\, The Rhinestone Sisterhood is\, at heart\, a story of female
  friendship and rivalry\, of triumph and disappointment&mdash\;not to ment
 ion a Frog Queen who just wouldn't quit. Anyone who has ever wanted to be 
 a princess will feel right at home.\nAbout the author: David Valdes Greenw
 ood is a lecturer at Tufts University and contributor to The Boston Globe 
 Magazine. He is the author of two memoirs\, Homo Domesticus and A Little F
 ruitcake.\n\nStart time: 7:00pm-8:00pm
