Summary
Sugar has spent all of her ten years on the River Road sugar plantation, most of them as a slave in the sugar fields. Slavery has been abolished, but life is still tough: Sugar works long days cutting cane until her hands bleed, her mother died, and her father left her behind. Sugar yearns to learn more about the world, and she gets to when Chinese laborers come to work in the fields. Now, she finds herself building unexpected relationships and looking toward a brighter future.
