In "This Bitter Earth", Sugar Lacey is on her way out of Bigelow, Arkansas, where she’d come to break with the past. With her worn leopard-print suitcase and her head held high, she walks past the prying eyes of its small-minded, cruel-hearted townsfolk, praying for the strength to keep going. She doesn’t stop until she arrives at her childhood home in Short Junction. Here she learns the truth about her parentage: a terrible tale of unrequited love, of one man’s enduring hatred, and of the black magic that has cursed generations of Lacey women. A powerfully realized novel that brings back the unforgettable characters from Sugar, McFadden’s bestselling debut, This Bitter Earth is a testament to the ultimate triumph of the human spirit."~~~~~~~I really enjoyed reading about Sugar in the first novel so when this book was released, I was very excited to find out what would become of Sugar. The author does a great job of putting all the pieces together in a neat little package--leaving nothing unknown. If you enjoy happy endings....Read this book!”
“W.O.W. EXCELLANT!!, EVEN BETTER THAN SUGAR. LOVED THE BOOK. BROUGHT BOTH OF THEM. BOTH MUST READ BOOKS.”

“The sequel to where Sugar leaves off. By now, we know that Sugar and Pearl are more related than they thought. By now she is in St. Louis, but decides to come back to Arkansas for a change of pace. Once they do, things really get to hopping and the killing of Jude and Sugar's brutal beating who has gone off scotch free for a long time, is finally avenged. ”
