![]() ![]() ![]() "A powerful paperback that doesn't pull any emotional punches, Sugar Land is a debut you don't want to miss." - Bustle ![]() SUGAR LAND is a triumphant novel that manages to be funny and endearing even as it tangles with race, class, and the fate of misfits. Once there, she befriends inmate and soon-to-be legendary blues singer Lead Belly, who sings his way out (true story)―but only after he makes her promise to free herself from her own prison. Terrified, Miss Dara takes a job at Imperial State Prison Farm for men. It's 1923 in Midland, Texas, and Miss Dara falls in love with her best friend―who also happens to be a girl. A southern fried novel about love, Lead Belly, and liberation that's been called a "ravishing debut" in a starred Kirkus Review and "writing at its finest" by the NY Journal of Books. ![]()
