Hey Sugars,

Cover the Butter elegantly tells the story of one woman's fight to take back her life. Kate Cadogan has spent her life pleasing everybody but herself. When forty-something Kate wakes up one morning to find her acquiescent lifestyle has gotten her nothing but a trashed home from her aloof teenage son's party, it all comes crashing down. A last attempt to draw some sympathy from her husband, reconfirms she does not really know the man. One thing she does know. She is never going to have sex with her husband again. The novel goes back in time as we follow the events that stifled Kate's passion for life and brought her to this point in time. Growing up with an over-bearing mother, filled with jealousy of her husband's love for his daughter, the bitter-sweet mother-daughter relationship is based on harsh demands and never-ending guilt. Kate's own father is too weak to make a stand. However, Kate does not face her ordeals alone as she has true best friends and the support of her grandparents. Although it may take Kate until she is in her forties, she find the courage within her to simply not take it anymore. Her dreams have waited just too long.

First time novelist, Carrie Kabak has created a smart, heartbreaking, and inspiring new tale that will have you captivated even when her story ends. Coming this June 2005, find out early what the critics are saying. You won't have to judge this book by its cover alone!
