Sugar

By Kevin Semeniuk

He has a suitcase and one reason to go: find a miracle for Hope.
Poor Boy owns little-his grandmother's scuffed case, the open-table kindness of Miss Violet and Mr. Charlie, and a promise he doesn't know how to keep. When keeping it means finding a miracle to save the only friend who ever chose him, staying put won't do. He steps onto the road without a map for what he's after-only the belief that somewhere, somehow, the world holds it, waiting for him.

Amos-older, a little reckless, quick to spot the light in Poor Boy-falls in beside him. They reach a place deep in the trees, where a man, kept by animals and silence, softens not to the boy's labour but to his honesty-his refusal to hide. Poor Boy works to pay his keep and for what the work can teach; the work is the fare, not the point. Days at the edge of manhood, nights softened by gospel-lessons spoken and unspoken-carry him closer to the one thing he came for.

Sugar is a plainspoken, tender, fiercely human tale about hope, friendship, and the stubborn light that refuses to go out.

*Reviews

"Amazing 'Sugar' makes you believe in miracles; the characters have you believing in them. I couldn't put the book down, it was amazing "
- Christine on, 'Sugar'

"Without reservation, I highly recommend 'Sugar' by Kevin Semeniuk. From the opening sentence to the last, it was a very compelling story indeed. Three cheers for Hope "
- Sean on, 'Sugar'

"Another great book written by Kevin Semeniuk. It's funny how we forget the simple things in life; we forget to dream and we don't remember how to love. 'Sugar' brought those important things out of me. The author made it feel like I was the character 'Poor Boy' and it related to events in my life. Whether it was sharing a laugh or wiping a tear, he connects with his readers and you feel the emotions that the characters feel, and that in itself is amazing. I highly recommend this novel."
- Kaled on, 'Sugar'
