Synopsis
Unbeknownst to Iris Chapman, the Atlanta-based owner of Image Control, a kettle of low-flying vultures convenes overhead as she boards the flight home to Opa Locka on the day of her brother Victor’s controversial wedding. Following their customary bear hugs, Iris’ eccentric family launches into the inquisition, the visual and vocal assessment of Iris’ physical appearance. Will Iris survive the onslaught by the vulturous characters in her life? Will Ms. Chickie, her octogenarian grandmother; her superstitious mother who denunciates anything nappy; her hermit-like father; and brain-numbing, irritating clients, push Iris over the edge of her own sanity?

From the Author
If David Sedaris' Naked and Zadie Smith's White Teeth spawned a literary child, A KETTLE OF VULTURES would be their offspring. Written with humorous abandon by popular satirist, former stand-up comic and media commentator, Sabrina Lamb, A KETTLE OF VULTURES is a fictional romp which exposes the ascerbic thoughts of image consultant Iris Chapman, her dysfunctional family, socially maladjusted clients, magical friends and her adventurous journey towards self-acceptance.
From the Back Cover
"A funny book about race, love and Cuban coffee -- among many other things." The Year of Living Biblically and My Life as an Experiment.
Witty and deliciously humorous, Sabrina Lamb interweaves a bon-a-fide satirical piece of literary fiction with Kettle of Vultures that's sure to be a classic for generations to come. - Terrance Dean, author of the Essence best-seller, Hiding In Hip Hop
"Sabrina Lamb's a rock star, as she confidently takes chick-lit to a whole other level with her superb writing style. Her latest novel is fittingly clever, funny and charming."
Abby Finer, Television Executive Producer/Author
Sabrina has always been...one step ahead! Catch up to her, if you can! She and her writing is a winner, in every sense of the word!
