Join Actress Kimberly Elise (Beloved, Diary of a Mad Black Woman) in celebrating Sugar's 10th Anniversary!
“Bernice L. McFadden's first novel begins with the brief, poetic description of a crime so startling that the reader is helplessly drawn in, as if a bright red door stood ajar on a bleak and forbidding house. Pearl Taylor's daughter, Jude, has been found murdered and mutilated near a field at the edge of town. "The murder had white man written all over it," writes McFadden. "But no one would say it above a whisper. It was 1940. It was Bigelow, Arkansas. It was a black child. Need any more be said?" In the years that follow, Pearl catches sight of Jude in so many strangers that when Sugar Lacey comes to town and sets up her unwholesome "business" in the house next door, she doesn't know whether to believe what she sees in Sugar's face: a striking similarity to Jude, dead 15 years. In her sedate but supple prose--rising at times to a light, unforced lyricism in the description of landscape or character--the author perfectly renders the closed and protective society of a small Southern town, the superstitions, gossip, and prying.”
Peace & Light,
Bernice L. McFadden

Good Morning,
My name is Mr. Bertrand E. Brown and I am a former elementary school teacher, author and currently the co-founder of The Literacy Library, Inc., a non-profit tutorial service which aids underprivileged and at-risk African-American teenagers in their academics.
At present and because we are a nonprofit organization we tend to rely rather heavily on book donations such as yours and we would gladly accept any book donation or gift certificate which would aid us in motivating our students to achieve and maintain the pursuit of academic success which we feel is such an integral part of being a productive and integral part of our society.
Hopefully you can help us in our endeavors with your donation. The majority of our students are young adults and their interests are unlimitited so any and all genres are welcomed.
And with that said I thank you sincerely for your time, support and understanding and patiently await your reply.
Sincerely yours,
The Literacy Library
