What is chubby? Josey Cirrini knows because she is hidding behind it and in her closet where she devours sweets and romance novels. Being chubby is only part of the reason she hides. Her daddy was the big man in town, responsible, single handedly for saving the town, and that brings too much attention and to many expectations. Her mother is just down right mean.
Then Della Lee Baker shows up in Josey's closet, refuses to leave and forces Josey out into the world. Out of hiding, she meets the mailman whom she loves somewhere other than at her front door, and begins to bond with Chole Finley, one of Della Lee's friends.
Now Josey must come out of hiding and face a world where books suddenly appear, a red cardigan is magical, and a passionate kiss can make water boil, literally.
The Sugar Queen has the warmth of a freshly baked cinnamon roll, the tenderness of angel food cake and the richness of a deep fudge brownie. Relax and enjoy the warm and wacky characters and the comfort of a simple plot. Then spend some time reflecting on the power of those who find and then choose to live their own life the way the want.
