Sugar and Salt
The New York Times bestselling author of The Lost and Found Bookshop brings readers a can’t-miss tale of friendship, hardship, redemption, and love between a San Francisco baker and a barbecue master from Texas.
"Susan Wiggs understands the tender dramas of everyday life, of friendship and family, of wanting something that might be just beyond reach. She will make you believe in life’s sweetness.”--Luanne Rice, New York Times bestselling author of The Shadow Box
“Wiggs writes with compassion and insight...This is another winner.” —Booklist
Jerome Sugar learned the art of baking in his grandma’s bakery, also called Sugar, on historic Perdita Street in San Francisco. He supplies baked goods to the Lost and Found Bookshop across the street.
When the restaurant that shares his commercial kitchen loses its longtime tenant, a newcomer moves in: Margot Salton, a barbecue master from Texas.
Margot isn’t exactly on the run, but she needs a fresh start. She’s taken care of herself her whole life, pulling herself up by her fingernails to recover from trauma, and her dream has been to open a restaurant somewhere far, far from Texas. The shared kitchen with Jerome's Sugar bakery is the perfect setup: a state-of-the-art kitchen and a vibrant neighborhood popular with tourists and locals.
Margot instantly takes to Jerome’s mother, the lively, opinionated Ida. The older woman proves to be a good mentor, and Margot is drawn to Jerome. Despite their different backgrounds their attraction is powerful—even though Jerome worries that Margot will simply move on from him once she’s found some peace and stability. But just as she starts to relax into a happy new future, Margot’s past in Texas comes back to haunt her…

I couldn’t put the book down. So we’ll written!
By Doggyritz
The story was too politically/liberally slanted regarding abortion , same sex marriage (inferring that two husbands are a better family unit than a traditional husband and wife), and that white men are evil (compared to black men). I read this to the end and was so disappointed/disheartened with the change in Susan Wigg’s tone. I have loved all of her books and have sung her praises until this one. I will probably never read another one of hers again. I gave this a 2 star rating because her writing is always good, but this was not a feel-good romance.

This book was very disturbing. The rape scene is very graphic. The description of this book is VERY misleading. It really is horrible.

The whole book is so predictable and tries so hard to check all the right boxes that makes for e huge waist of time

This book shows that life isn’t always fair and you have to stick up for yourself. Your “team/family (chosen or given)” are the rock of your foundation. Read it to help you remember the rock of your foundation.
