Query: Sugar take you back to a time..

when life was simpler and uncomplicated. And that's what happens to the town of Bigelow, Arkansas when Sugur Lacey sashay's her hips into town. The women are immediately whispering and the men are intrigued. Sugar begrudingly befriends Ms. Pearl and the two become friends - mostly due to the fact that Sugar bears an uncanny resemblance to Pearl's murdered daughter Jude.Sit back and enjoy this tale as the women of Bigelow try their best to oust Sugar from their sleepy town, while Sugar awakens something that's been dormant in Ms. Pearl for many years and Sugar learns something about herself.I'll admit I've had this book for at least 8 years and initially I couldn't get into it. Eight years later I'm glad I gave this book a second chance. If you enjoy the Color Purple or the earlier books of J. California Cooper than you will love this book.It's not an easy book to read - there's alot of imagery used throughout, but in the end you'll be glad you read it.
