Overview
Sophia looked around and saw only disappointment. Gone were the blinders she'd put on everyday to live as a human glue gun. Without them, she saw nothing left to hold together. Walls unpainted for the whole time they'd lived here. Floors creaking beneath cheap carpet the color of dirt. Anger, confusion, and tension crawled into every nerve and cell. Any sweetness she'd felt about her life gave way to a brine at the back of her throat and brewing behind her eyes." A voice inside told her to leave that house. Let her husband finish raising their six children.
Years later, those children will grapple with that loss and struggle to heal the deep wounds left by their mother's abandonment. Salt in the Sugar Bowl takes a snapshot of each of the Sawyer's offspring—years after Sophia's disappearance. The wounds of losing a mother will resurface time and time again, as they struggle to live, love, and trust as if their hearts were whole and unscarred. Only the strong will survive.
