The Chili Queen
The Chili Queen: A Novel | Sandra Dallas
5 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
Life may have been hard on Addie French, but when she meets friendless Emma Roby on a train, all her protective instincts emerge. Emma's brother is seeing her off to Nalgitas to marry a man she has never met. And Emma seems like a lost soul to Addie-someone who needs Addie's savvy and wary eye. It isn't often that Addie is drawn to anyone as a friend, but Emma seems different somehow. When Emma's prospective fails to show up at the train depot, Addie breaks all her principles to shelter the girl at her brothel, The Chili Queen. But once Emma enters Addie's life, the secrets that unfold and schemes that are hatched cause both women to question everything they thought they knew. With Sandra Dallas's trademark humor, charm, and pathos, The Chili Queen will satisfy anyone who has ever longed for happiness. The Chili Queen is the winner of the 2003 Spur Award for Best Western Novel.

One of my favourite reads of the year. Well written characters with layers - no one perfectly good, no one truly evil. Multiple twists and I was actually shocked by them! A true page turner until the very end.

The Chili queen is a brothel in the wild west of New Mexico where a hook house madam, an ex-slave, a bank robber & a prim almost spinster are all brought together. Each one carrying their own secrets and mysterious pasts. Each one chasing their own secret dream by whatever sketchy means necessary. Full of thick plots & twists, an overall fun, surprising and fast read. The story itself was like a good chilli, made up of a little bit of everything

Soooo tonight at the youth building those who ate all the chili‘s voted on the favorite ...white trash chili won 😂🎃🙌🏻

AmyG What is white trash chili? 6y
TheBookHippie @AmyG white chili ..the trash part is you literally take all the extra vegetables in your fridge chop them up and throw them in the chili with left over chicken, chicken stock, can of corn what ever cheese you have along with a jar of salsa or two and fill a crock pot or big pot full then cook it all day. So you‘ve cleaned out all the trash and made chili :) 6y
AmyG Ahhhhh. Thanks! 6y
TheBookHippie @AmyG I also throw in cans of whatever beans too last night I had 3 cans of northern beans :) 6y
