Abandoned on foreign soil in a world where language and customs are
a mystery, Sophia James, the eldest of six Californian children, is
in charge-and she is only eleven. Told through the eyes of the
sixty-year-old Sophia as she sits with oils painting a large
canvas, The Smell of Sugarcane is based on a true story. Traveling
through time with Sophia, the reader witnesses the strength and
power that can be found when a human spirit is determined to
survive and succeed. As she advances her painting, a remarkable
story unfolds in a place where love is hidden and dangers abound
and children hold tight. Rich with tropical colors, the book
revolves around the island of Puerto Rico. Its factual and
descriptive narrative keeps the reader captive as the painting
progresses. The reader will skip a heartbeat in moments when the
children are in danger and will cry for their fears and injustices
or laugh and celebrate victories. The Smell of Sugarcane is about
the importance of instilling strong principles and good values at
an early age. Without these, the children would have been lost.
This book is about picking up the torch of life and holding it high
while running with all one's might. Ultimately, it is about good
profoundly triumphing over evil.
