BOOK OVERVIEW
Extraordinary Praise for BERNICE L. McFADDEN
"One of the most compelling and thought-provoking novels I've read in years. Bernice L. McFadden is truly a welcomed voice in the literary world." -TERRY MCMILLAN on Sugar.
"Riveting. The Warmest December avoids the sentimentality that swirls around the subject matter. I am as impressed by its structural strength as by the searing, expertly imagined scenes." -TONI MORRISON.
"Written with such great eloquence, The Warmest December is one of the best books I have ever read." -KIMBERLA LAWSON ROBY.
"Sugar is sooooo good! A writer's writer, she tells a story which leaves you satisfied with thought." -ERIC JEROME DICKEY.
"Bernice L. McFadden has proven she knows how to tell a story with insight and clarity.... McFadden's prose is lyrical. -USA Today
"Ms. McFadden is one of those rare talents that can enthrall readers regardless of the topic. She did it in her first novel, Sugar, and [The Warmest December] is equally satisfying.... This story cuts across all races and social strata in its need to be told." -The Dallas Morning News.
