Coming from Barefoot Books, these were charming multicultural tales suffused with wry observations on the world – the monkey who a… Continue

an excerpt from SUGAR TIME, a new novel by Jane Adams

…..“One of the things I’ve noticed about getting older is that often the anticipation of getting your ambitions realized or your fantasies fulfilled is better than the payoff.
