Sugar: A Hawaiian Novel
Like the crop that shaped the fate of the Hawaiian Islands, Kalili'i, Sugar, Kaleo is one tough lady. Her stalk is bent - but never broken - by poverty, child abuse, and domestic violence. Despite an earthly attraction to no-good men, Sugar overcomes incredible obstacles to become the mayor of Kaua i. When a bribery scandal threatens to end her political career, Sugar finds herself immersed in a courtroom drama, where she is defended by her childhood crush, the inexperienced but clever Isumo, Izzy, Kawamoto. To protect her name and keep her son, Sugar is forced to confront not only her adversaries, but also the deep, dark secrets of her past.
