A great opening line is enough to pull anyone in, a great opening line about loving your mom's suffering will get us to talk for an hour about your book. We are of course talking about "Burnt Sugar" by Avni Doshi. This week, Scott and Dominique discuss the trials of caring for someone who didn't want to care for you, the burdens and limitations we put on mothers, and the respect we have for those who resist those limitations. Lots of gray areas in this book!

"The Book of Mother" by Violaine Huisman
"Shuggie Bane" by Douglas Stuart
