Coming in August from
In The Sugarhouse, author Donald O'Donovan recalls a simpler time in America when friendships were unqualified, pecadillos were overlooked, and tradition defined the foundation of society.
Set in 1950s Cooperstown, New York, home of James Fennimore Cooper and baseball's Hall of Fame, the returning prodigal takes us on a charming and sentimental trip through the colorful and formative events of his childhood. The narrative is populated by homespun characters, fertile fishing ponds and innocent love. And at the center of the tale is the Sugarhouse, the town's well loved house of ill repute.
