I saw that you reviewed Kathryn Stockett's: The Help on your blog and it would be great honor if you would read and review my novel SUGAR, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. New York Times Bestselling author Adriana Trigiani gave me a marvelous blurb after reading This Bitter Earth, which is the sequel to SUGAR: "Bernice L. McFadden is a master storyteller. Blogger/Book Reviewer Gerber Daisy Mom was quoted as saying this about Sugar: "In my quest to find the alternative to The Help I’m trying to immerse myself in African-American authors, whose points of view lend more authenticity and credibility to the stories of African-American characters. I hit gold with Bernice L. McFadden’s,Sugar." You can read her entire review here: http://gerberadaisydiaries.blogspot.com/2010/01/book-review-sugar.html I working to place SUGAR into as many hands, hearts and minds as possible and I hope you can help me do this. Please let me know If I may send you a copy of SUGAR. If so, please forward your address and blog URL. Peace & Light, Bernice Hello!

It was kind of like Roots, where it followed several generations of a black family from slavery up to modern times. Each section of the book was narrated by the charcter whose perspective we were seeing, and I thought that was really well done as well... I really liked The Glory Field, by Walter Dean Meyers.

It is that southern style of writing too and has a similar story line. I read this a long time ago, but I remember just loving it. Hope this helps!

This is probably my fave book of all time. I thought the writing was superb and the characters were some of the best described characters I've ever read about. I didn't want this book to end. I really want to find another book in this genre similar to "The Help" but am unable to do so. Any suggestions? Wanted to comment and say I completely agree with your five star rating.

It sounds so good. I heard the author got dozens and dozens of rejections on this one, too. Amazing. I’m dying to read this. It sounds so good.
