Southern Tea: A lil' Salt and Suga
By Princess S. Booker
Step into a world where lace fans whisper secrets, parasols shade more than sun, and Southern grace is steeped in power, pain, and poise.
Set in the heart of antebellum Louisiana, Southern Tea: A lil' Salt and Suga is a bold and beautifully layered historical fiction novel that pays homage to the high-society Black women who navigated wealth, reputation, and rebellion in a world designed to silence them.
Through a richly drawn cast of characters, readers are invited into the parlors, gardens, and clandestine corners of a hidden society where intellect, elegance, and resilience were the unspoken armor of women who defied the times.
This is more than just tea; it's a stirring brew of Southern tradition, ancestral pride, buried secrets, and unstoppable womanhood, served with a sharp tongue and a soft heart.
Perfect for fans of Bridgerton, The Vanishing Half, and The House of Eve, this novel is a poignant reminder that even in the most gilded cages, brave women found ways to sing and change history with every note.
Grab your cup, sugar. The tea is about to be served.
