Sweet Like Sugar Cane

Sweet Like Sugar Cane

By Leah T. Williams

Gwen has always done what's expected—follow the rules, help her family, and keep her feelings quiet. But when her heart starts pulling her in unexpected directions, she's faced with a decision that could change everything.

Set in the lush rhythms of St. Kitts, Sweet Like Sugar Cane is a deeply emotional young adult novel about first love, complicated family expectations, and the quiet courage it takes to choose your own path. Gwen's story is steeped in Caribbean culture, vibrant community life, and the kind of truths that linger long after the last page.

A prequel to Neither Out Far Nor In Deep, this novel stands on its own as a powerful coming-of-age tale. For fans of heartfelt YA fiction, strong female leads, and island stories that blend love, pressure, and identity.

"An evocative… coming-of-age story set in the heart of the Caribbean."
