Come Sit with Me, Sugar: A Memoir of Love, Letters, and Last Chances

This story about an adored grandfather is more than a sentimental journey seen through rose-colored glasses. It’s about a man, who, despite heavy responsibilities at a young age that derailed him from achieving his college degree, lived a purposeful life, punctuated by a thirst for knowledge and experience. A complicated man who did not always make sound financial or personal decisions, he was not always appreciated by certain family members. He shared a mutual adoration for his granddaughter, a bond so central to both of their lives, she continues to feel his presence through a tingling in her left hand and wrist. Readers of this memoir will revisit some of the high (and low) points, culturally and politically, of the last century and experience nostalgia for Old New York as the backdrop to the deep familial tie between this grandfather and granddaughter. A self-described pack rat, another trait shared with her “Gramps,” the author delivers a story filled with richness and dimension told through saved letters, photos, playbills, and more. The revealing experiences of this duo reflect passion for perseverance, inspiring the most timid or cynical to fulfill their own personal dreams.
