Queen St. “Salt in the Sugar Bowl” is the book of the month for the Urban Literature Book Club, which meets fourth Tuesdays at the library. Books are available for check out.
The book takes a snapshot of each of the matriarch’s six offspring — years after their mother’s disappearance. The years have passed, but the wound 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.
Epps, a high school English teacher and New York native, spent much of her early childhood in Eastern North Carolina and now lives in Raleigh.
