Sipos's prose crackles with energy, packing more into a single sentence than some manage on an entire page.-Booklife by Publisher's Weekly

A clever and entertaining read, with amusing, unexpected twists...quirky characters hiding a trove of backstories and deceptions...a delightful, surprising powerhouse.-Kirkus Reviews

In this spirited satire of sisterhood and survival across The Urban Frontier, a daring new literary heroine emerges to heal a divided nation-whether it wants her to or not. An imaginative and creative kids' entertainment executive, Jaycee Grayson is forced out of Hollywood after a bold face-off with its notorious boy's club. Armed with a fresh rehab rap sheet and a knack for making miracles out of mishaps, she seeks the unlikely refuge of Littleburgh, Wisconsin, Home of the World's Most Wonderful Girls.

Expecting the warm embrace of like-minded ladies inside Littleburgh's famous high-end doll empire, Jaycee confronts an unfriendly outpost of Prairie Karens wearing smiles as plastic as the coveted merchandise. She soon discovers that behind the façade of this storybook village lurks an army of happy backstabbers harboring a billion-dollar web of secrets and masks. Even the empress of Littleburgh's lucrative legend may never have existed at all.

Fueled by wit as sharp as a stiletto skating on thin ice, a twisted plot leads Jaycee and her fellow misfits toward either a joyful rebellion or a public execution in the town square. Heartbreaking news from home forces Jaycee's ironic choice between returning to a shattered dream and exposing a showcase of female hypocrisy at her own peril.

A blockbuster finale reveals a powerful ally even life-long readers of girl-powered page-turners won't see coming in this poignant, provocative, and darkly funny showdown between Hollywood and the heartland..
