Sugar has always yearned to learn more about the world, and she sees her chance when Chinese workers are brought in to help harvest the cane. The older River Road folks feel threatened, but Sugar is fascinated. As she befriends young Beau and elder Master Liu, they introduce her to the traditions of their culture, and she, in turn, shares the ways of plantation life. Sugar soon realizes that she must be the one to bridge the cultural gap and bring the community together. Here is a story of unlikely friendships and how they can change our lives forever.

Recenzii
Praise
for
SUGAR:
"[Rhodes']
prose
shines,
reading
with
a
spare
lyricism
that
flows
naturally.
All
Sugar's
hurt,
longing,
pain
and
triumph
shine
through....A
magical
story
of
hope."
-Kirkus,
starred
review
"Sugar
is
superbly
trumphant
--
both
heroine
and
story.
This
glorious
mainstay
opens
an
underrepresented
chapter
in
American
history."
-

author
ofOne
Crazy
Summer
"Sugaris
sweet.Sugaris
sharp.Sugaris
to
be
savored.
With
nuanced
storytelling,
Jewell
Parker
Rhodes
vividly
portrays
the
brutality
of
the
times,
as
well
as
the
triumphs
that
arise
when
a
community
comes
together.
Those
who
readSugarwill
be
inspired
to
search
deep
within
themselves
to
find
the
true
meanings
of
friendship
and
freedom."
