![]() ![]() Tammy Lynne Stoner captures the beauty and the gritty day-to-day of Dara’s life and search for meaning. And it’s a big one, and it’s chock-full of clever humor. Dara marries, becomes a widow, and gets a second chance at love. She is authentic, relatable, and fallible with a heart of gold. My feelings ran the gamut from laughter to sadness.ĭara is everything you want in your main character. Sugar Land reminded me of what’s best about a Fannie Flagg novel. They form a true friendship, and he makes her promise to live her best, true life. There she meets Lead Belly, who later becomes a star blues singer. This terrifies her, so she seeks a job at the Imperial State Prison for men. In 1920s Texas, Miss Dara has fallen in love with her best friend. I instantly fell right into Miss Dara’s story and Stoner’s storytelling. Sugar Land has received a starred review from Kirkus, and I can definitely understand why. ![]()
