About

Why Charley Bordelon's late father left her eight hundred acres of sugarcane land in rural Louisiana is as mysterious as it was generous. With a chance to start over, Charley and her eleven-year-old daughter, Micah, say goodbye to Los Angeles. They arrive just in time for growing season. As the sweltering summer unfolds, Charley must balance the challenges of her farm with the demands of a homesick daughter, a bitter and troubled brother, and the startling desires of her own heart.

    Reviews

    "Natalie Baszile debuts with an irresistible tale of family, community, personal obligation, and personal reinvention. The world is full of things that keep you down and things that lift you up - Queen Sugar is about both and in approximately equal measure. Smart and heart-felt and highly recommended."
    Karen Joy Fowler, New York Times bestselling author
    "Queen Sugar is a gorgeous, moving story about what grounds us as brothers and sisters, as mothers and daughters, and all the ways we fight to save each other. Natalie Baszile's characters put brave roots into inhospitable ground, looking for a place, a person, a community to call home. I alternately laughed and wept as they failed each other, forgave each other, lost each other, found themselves.
    Joshilyn Jackson, New York Times bestselling author
    "After turning the last page of Queen Sugar, I already miss the gutsy, contemporary African American woman who ditches California and migrates to Louisiana to run her inherited cane farm. Natalie Baszile is a fresh, new voice that resists all Southern stereotypes, and delivers an authentic knock-out read."
    Lalita Tademy, New York Times bestselling author
