Sugar in Our Wounds

Somewhere down South stands a mystical tree, branches reaching to heaven and roots gripping blood-soaked soil. Under it, James escapes by reading newspapers smuggled from the Master’s house, while Henry is planning a real-life escape. From a surprise kiss blooms the hope of something sweet, but is it enough to overcome the bitterness of slavery, jealousy and fear? Finding an unexpected beauty in our troubled past, Sugar in Our Wounds reminds us that love can—and will—blossom anywhere.
