Last summer I heard J. Ryan Stradal speak at the Winona public library. Today I read The Larger Queen Of Minnesota. This is the second book I have read by him. The first book was Saturday Night At The Lakeside Supper Club. The author grew up in Hastings and is a big fan of supper clubs. This was a good book. This was a good book about two sisters who grew up on a farm. When the parents die, the proceeds of the farm go to one sister only. That sister grew up determined to make good beer. She went to Macalester to study chemistry. She and her husband did make good beer. The other sister got married, had two children, and worked at a nursing home baking pies. Her pies were so delicious people from outside the nursing home started coming in to eat pie. Eventually the couple moved to a suburb of Minneapolis. Her husband died. When her daughter and son-in-law died in a car accident she took in her granddaughter. Her granddaughter ends up in the beer making business too.
