{"product_id":"sugar","title":"Sugar","description":"From bestselling and award-winning author Jewell Parker Rhodes comes a tale of a strong, spirited young girl who rises beyond her circumstances and inspires others to work toward a brighter future.\n\nTen-year-old Sugar lives on the River Road sugar plantation along the banks of the Mississippi. Slavery is over, but laboring in the fields all day doesn't make her feel very free. Thankfully, Sugar has a knack for finding her own fun, especially when she joins forces with forbidden friend Billy, the white plantation owner's son.\n\nSugar has always yearned to learn more about the world, and she sees her chance when Chinese workers are brought in to help harvest the cane. The older River Road folks feel threatened, but Sugar is fascinated. As she befriends young Beau and elder Master Liu, they introduce her to the traditions of their culture, and she, in turn, shares the ways of plantation life. Sugar soon realizes that she must be the one to bridge the cultural gap and bring the community together. Here is a story of unlikely friendships and how they can change our lives forever.\n\nAlso by Jewell Parker Rhodes:\nNinth Ward\nBayou Magic\nTowers Falling\nGhost Boys\nBlack Brother, Black Brother\nParadise on Fire\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0316043060\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0316043060.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Rhodes, Jewell Parker\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in excellent condition.
