Under the yoke of Spanish oppression, the Caribbean island is forced to prepare to wage war with the United States. Up in the mountainous coffee region of Utuado, Vicente Vega and Valentina Sanchez labor to keep their small farm from the creditors. When the Spanish-American War and the great San Ciriaco Hurricane of 1899 bring devastating upheaval, the young couple is lured, along with thousands of other puertorriquenos, to the sugar plantations of Hawaii—another US territory—where they are confronted by the hollowness of America’s promises of prosperity. Writing in the tradition of great Latin American storytelling, Marisel Vera’s The Taste of Sugar is an unforgettable novel of love and endurance, and a timeless portrait of the reasons we leave home.

[A] Latino Grapes of Wrath.”—Ron Charles, Washington Post Marisel Vera emerges as a major new voice in contemporary fiction with this “capacious” (The New Yorker) novel set in Puerto Rico on the eve of the Spanish-American War. Up in the mountainous region of Utuado, Vicente Vega and Valentina Sanchez labor to keep their coffee farm from the creditors. When the great San Ciriaco hurricane of 1899 brings devastating upheaval, the young couple is lured along with thousands of other puertorriquenos to the sugar plantations of Hawaii, where they are confronted by the hollowness of America’s promises of prosperity. Depicting the roots of Puerto Rican alienation and exodus, which resonates especially today, The Taste of Sugar is “a gorgeous feat of storytelling” (Tayari Jones).

Book excerpt: Everything tastes sweeter when you've been soured! People often say too much sweetness will leave a sour taste in your mouth. That isn't the case with me. You only have one life, so I plan to make the most of it. If you want to join the crazy-ass ride, you are more than welcome: the more, the merrier. But if you want a smooth, boring track without a single curve in the road, you're associating with the wrong woman. My name is Harlow Murphy. I'm the baker the billionaire can't wait to taste. He ordered six dozen cupcakes; he left with so much more. One taste is never enough, so why didn't he come back for a second helping? ****People often say honesty should be the first chapter of every book, but if that stops the magic from happening, why can't it be pushed back a few chapters? No one knows how a story will end once it starts; you just have to trust the author. That's what I've been doing since I ran into a baker with a sassy attitude and sugary mouth. I'm trusting my instincts. I'm giving our story a chance to be written. It may be based on a lie, but it is a chance all the same. Every sweet has its sour, but will my secrets be too bitter for her to swallow?I'm Cormack McGregor, the billionaire who wants a second taste.

Book excerpt: After realizing her coworkers at L’Ombre, a high-profile restaurant in NYC, will never appreciate or respect her, Charlie Garrett allows her ex-boyfriend, Avery Michaels, to convince her to work for him as executive pastry chef at his new Seattle hotspot, Thrill. She’ll have her own kitchen, her own staff—everything she ever wanted professionally. When she arrives at Thrill, however, she realizes that Avery wanted more than a pastry chef for his restaurant—he wanted a costar for the reality show they’re filming about the restaurant and its staff. Charlie is uncomfortable with the idea at first, but she soon realizes that this is her chance to show the world what women in the kitchen are capable of. She sets some ground rules with the film crew, signs a non-disclosure agreement, and promptly meets the man of her dreams, Kai, off-camera. The show, and her demanding work schedule as head of the pastry kitchen, makes it nearly impossible for Charlie and Kai to spend time together. Drama on and off the set soon take a toll on Charlie’s well-being, forcing her to choose if life in front of the camera is worth sacrificing life behind the scenes. Sugar is a contemporary romance, set in the high-pressure commercial kitchens of New York and Seattle. A funny and clever story of how a female chef learns to thrive in the ruthless world of premier restaurants.

Book excerpt: Forged: When Sugar Taste Like Salt is a unique story about the truths of life, which in this case, is unsettling to the human heart, disquieting to the soul, and disconcerting to the sense of justice to all humanity. Life brings about change, and as humans we must make adjustments to these changes if we're to evolve, and become better, and learn from our mistakes. Never in human history has it been so arduous or problematic to make those kinds of adjustments, than during the Jim Crow era in American History for the non-repentent white man. This is the backdrop for a tale of anguish and agony, that leaves a legacy of heartaches for a Negro girl growing up in West Monroe, Louisiana. Taking place during the dark and ominous Civil Rights era, Jacqueline Snowden is born to live out loud despite being constantly reminded to be seen and not heard. This sordid and graphic story wasn't meant to be voiced to a nation that wants to sweep all of its dirty laundry under the rug. Jacqueline as a very young child knows that this concept, separate but equal is unjust. If things are separate from their origin, what guarantees that its kept equal? This was meant to remain a secret because it was too disconcerting to share with the people who knew they weren't equal . Being born Negro in America guarantees that you aren't treated equally. It took centuries for white America to acknowledge that slavery was wrong because it was the law for over four hundred years. The time came when white America needed to acknowledge that separate but equal was unjust,3 and to integrate with all deliberate speed. But for Jacqueline, integration was painful because separate but equal was a firmly established way of life. This autobiography exposes the filthy underbelly and impact on her journey to contest this law. Jacqueline Snowden forges her parents signature on a Freedom of Choice form and becomes, in fact, the first West Monroe High School Negro REBEL.

Book excerpt: A fascinating persuasive history of how sugar has shaped the world, from European colonies to our modern diets In this eye-opening study, Sidney Mintz shows how Europeans and Americans transformed sugar from a rare foreign luxury to a commonplace necessity of modern life, and how it changed the history of capitalism and industry. He discusses the production and consumption of sugar, and reveals how closely interwoven are sugar's origins as a "slave" crop grown in Europe's tropical colonies with is use first as an extravagant luxury for the aristocracy, then as a staple of the diet of the new industrial proletariat. Finally, he considers how sugar has altered work patterns, eating habits, and our diet in modern times. "Like sugar, Mintz is persuasive, and his detailed history is a real treat." -San Francisco Chronicle
