Sugar Land is a southern fried novel about love, Lead Belly, and
liberation. According to a starred Kirkus Review, Sugar Land "is a
postcard of small-town Texas life from Prohibition through civil
rights, tracing the treatment and awareness of gay people through
these decades. The love child of Fannie Flagg and Rita Mae Brown...
[a] ravishing debut." It's 1923 in Midland, Texas, and Miss Dara
falls in love with her best friend who also happens to be a girl.
Terrified, Miss Dara takes a job at the Imperial State Prison Farm
for men. 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. Sugar Land is a triumphant, beautiful novel about the
heart's refusal to be denied what the heart wants.
