TWELVE-YEAR-OLD Sugar Mae Cole and her mother, Reba, have never had a lot, but they've always had each other. And that's always been enough.
But when they lose their house and head for Chicago in search of a new life that turns out to be nothing more than empty promises, Reba has a serious breakdown, and Sugar is left on her own. Soon, she's put into foster care with only her beloved rescue dog, Shush, to keep her company.
Fortunately, Sugar still has a link to her old life through her former teacher, Mr.Bennett, who encourages her to write. Pouring her feelings into heartfelt poems that reflect her fear and confusion, and also her dreams and her faith in people, Sugar comes to understand that a home is a place you carry in your heart.

Accepting His Love
To all readers old and new, this story will be soon taken down and re-written. Thanks for all the support. As soon as it is re-written, I will be sure to repost the chapters. Follow me for more information. Abigail Jenkins is a young African woman from Missouri in the early 1890's. She's caught wind of the Oklahoma Land Rush and now she's set her mind on getting a chunk of land for herself. She's tired of the high minded white people from her old town and she wants to take charge of her own life. She is well aware of all the risks she may face by going alone into unknown territory, but she's willing to take that chance to have a new start on life. Derek Greyson, on the other hand, is a man simply wanting a change in scenery. After his parents died, he'd been taking care of his little sister. But now that she's married, he's turned his attention away from his home in Texas, and to the Land Rush in Oklahoma. He finds himself in the dust ridden land with thousands of others, greedy for a piece of the land. What he didn't expect, however, was to meet a lively little African woman with a sharp tongue, deep chocolate eyes and a mountain load of prejudices against white men due to the murder of her little sister. What will he do when he finds himself falling for her, along with all of her emotional demons? And for Abigail, what will she do when the stranger with icy blue eyes and a charming smile decides to break all social norms just to be with her?Complete
