Publisher's summary

Blackboard best seller Sugar is the superb first novel by Bernice L. McFadden.

An emotional journey from grief and suffering to understanding and forgiveness, Sugar will keep you listening until its graceful conclusion.

Sugar arrives in the small town of Bigelow, Arkansas, like an ominous storm. She saunters down the street in a blonde wig and spiked heels, cigarette dangling between red-painted lips. Without even speaking to her, the women in town hate her. But when she moves in next door to Pearl, a woman who tragically lost her daughter 15 years earlier, the two women bond over tragic pasts.

In this remarkably vivid novel read by gifted narrator Myra Lucretia Taylor, you can almost smell the blooming magnolias in this 1950s-era town.

Such a great story! Flawless narration!... Did not want the story to end!... I wanted more of Sugar and Pearl!!

Very good reading, the narrator bought life to the story, loved her voice(s). Can't wait to read more from the author and by the narrator.

Good read! Absolutely recommended!

Characters stayed with me after I finished. Totally relatable. Wished more for Sugar. Will recommend.

CAUTION

Explicit language and sex. If you’re not offended by this and enjoy historical fiction you will most likely enjoy this story. Good narration.

Love and fullfillness

Unbelievable story telling-Awesome book and I loved it ‼️
Too bad revenge could not have come before the story ended.

The Twists

I enjoyed this book immensely. It kept me entertained to the fullest and it was worth it. The different characters were really good and very well written. I fell in love with everyone due to how the narrator took you into their minds. I enjoyed the story.

Wow!

Wow! What a story, what an ending. Although I didn't like the ending, I do realize this story really could not have ended another way. Truely.

Amazing Story

This book was so much. Rough, soft, funny, sad, heart felt, heartbreaking. The narrator, Ms. Taylor, was the best I have ever heard. When I had to turn it off, I couldn't wait to listen again. It is a story I won't soon forget. 10 stars to the author and narrator.

Amazing

This book kept me on edge awaiting what’s going to happen next! I loved how it touched on so many areas of women’s emotions!

Loved it!

I really loved everything about this book. Be warned it can be crass and use surprising language and slang words. I’ll admit it made me laugh but some may be offended. It also had a lot of sexual content so if your listening with your kids in the car beware.
The opening of this book almost made me stop listening because of the sad content and I wasn’t sure what to expect but I’m glad I stuck with it. I loved the main characters and all the other characters were great.. fit into the story perfect. This is one of those stories that reads like it’s real. When I had to stop listening, I couldn’t wait to get back to see what happened. It was very sad in so many ways but it grabbed at me and I was sucked right in. The ending was the biggest shocker of all and I’m still reeling, but I looked up and there is a second book. I was definitely left wanting to know what happens next. I definitely hope it’s explained in the next book!! There were a few spots that I’m still confused about though so that is bothering me a bit.
