The novel is touching, uplifting, funny, and lyrical.

Here's a novel on the subject of race that offers a perspective which is both heartrending and uplifting. It chronicles how an interracial couple and their child send ripples out into the world that will reverberate for forty years. It's powerful, funny, and poignant.

Lynnie, give us more!

I loved this book. I happened upon it in the library and having really enjoyed "White Girls" I wanted to read this one and I did in one sitting. Having grown up in the same small city in Ohio, many of the places are as familiar to me as they are to the author. I found "21 Sugar Street" to be a deeper, darker book than "White Girls" and much more touching. It left me wanting more stories from this author.
