A review by janel1994
Sugar by Bernice L. McFadden

4.0

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It opens with a horrible murder of a young black girl named Jude and picks up with her mother 15 years later in a small southern town. A new gal has arrived in the small town named Sugar who is a prostitute wanting to start over. Pearl befriends her and their unlikely friendship is the core story of the book.

The book is beautifully written. I can't wait to read the sequel.
