 Sugar Lacey is on her way out of Bigelow, Arkansas, where she d come to
 break with the past. With her worn leopard-print suitcase and her head 
held high, she walks past the prying eyes of its small-minded, 
cruel-hearted townsfolk, praying for the strength to keep going. She 
doesn t stop until she arrives at her childhood home in Short Junction. 
 Here she learns the truth about her parentage: a terrible tale of 
unrequited love, of one man s enduring hatred, and of the black magic 
that has cursed generations of Lacey women.  A powerfully realized novel
 that brings back the unforgettable characters from <em>Sugar</em>, McFadden s bestselling debut, <strong>This Bitter Earth</strong> is a testament to the ultimate triumph of the human spirit.</span>]]></description>

blends the rich, earthy atmosphere of the deep South and a voice imbued 
with spiritual grace, Bernice L. McFadden tells the story of two women: a
 modest, churchgoing wife and mother, and the young prostitute she 
befriends.. "When Sugar arrives in 1950s Bigelow - waltzing down the 
main square of the sweltering tiny Arkansas town as if she has every 
right to be there - no one tosses out the welcome mat or invites her in 
for a Coke. The Bigelow women hate her from the minute they lay eyes on 
her - on the bouncing blond wig and red-painted lips that tell them she 
has never known a hard day's work. All they know is they want her gone, 
out of their town, and away from their men.. "But Sugar has traveled too
 far and survived too much to back down now. She parks herself in the 
house at #10 Grove Street, even though she feels there is something 
about Bigelow that is calling up the past she prayed she'd left behind..
 "Deep in her soul, Pearl Taylor knows what it is that Sugar feels, 
because it happened to her. It was the day her world shut down, the day 
the devil himself murdered her young daughter, Jude. It wasn't that 
Pearl stopped believing in God, exactly; she just couldn't trust him the
 way she used to. Then Sugar moves in next door, and Pearl's life 
irrevocably changes. Over sweet potato pie, an unlikely friendship 
begins, transforming the lives of two women - and an entire community.</span>]]></description>
