Sugar by Bernice L. McFadden

4.0

I could not put this book down. Set in the South in the 1950’s…a young prostitute makes her way back to her hometown. Everyone in the small town is whispering, gossiping and passing judgement the second Sugar arrives. Her next door neighbor, a middle aged woman, befriends her. The women are very different, but they end up needing each other to realize their true potential and to begin to heal from their past traumas. The writing is raw in a way that makes you see beyond your own experiences and feel compassion for people from different walks of life.
