Sugar was a masterful debut, an electrifying and profoundly realized addition to African American women’s literary fiction. And importantly, Sugar introduced us to the brilliant author, Bernice L. McFadden, who would bring forth The Book of Harlan, Gathering of Waters, Glorious, and Nowhere is a Place. – Sapphire
