"... Hawkins ... delivers a novel that mixes the streetwise lingo of vintage pimp fiction together with scathing satirical commentary about the spread of global capitalism, the Hurricane Katrina disaster, and the AIDS crisis in West Africa. A classic worthy of the "Sweets" series." --Dr. Justin Gifford, Professor of English Literature, University of Nevada, Reno Peter Wright is clinging to a chimney surrounded by dirty water after Hurricane Katrina hits New Orleans when he first learns that the man he calls his father is not his real daddy. As his mother relays his shocking biological story, Peter discovers that his father is Sweet Peter Deeder II, a master pimp with a well-known reputation. Eventually rescued and sworn to secrecy by his mother, Peter grows into a street-smart fourteen-year-old who has an overwhelming desire to get to know his biological father. After his mother quietly arranges a month-long visit with his father, Peter heads to Chicago where he begins unveiling his biological history. As Sweet Peter Deeder II introduces Peter to fine cognac, expensive dinners, and his luxurious condo, Peter is provided a glimpse into the lavish lifestyle of a big-time pimp. Now known as Lil' Sweets, Peter begins a journey through the world of pimping that leads him from Chicago to West Africa to Spain and back again as he explores his options and contemplates his future. In this multi-layered urban tale, a young African American on a quest for the truth must decide whether to embrace his unusual destiny or return to his old life.

What is candy? Trying to answer that question turned out to be as hard as trying to find the raspberry crème in a Whitman's box of assorted chocolates. You know what we mean. Like how when no one's looking you try to find that delicious creamy centered piece of raspberry covered in delicious chocolate. You begin by studying every piece of chocolate in that box. After careful inspection, you're certain you know the one that is raspberry crème. You take that piece out of its delicate lil' liner, bite into it and find it's just a piece of brittle coated in chocolate. Dang! Of course, you eat what's in your mouth-it's not bad but not what you were expecting-so you put the other half back into its special spot in the box and continue your search. You try other tactics liking poking your finger into the bottom of each piece of candy. Of, course, the first one you poke turns out to be jelly-filled, so you have to carefully put that one back too and continue the search. Our story is kinda like that with twists and turns and zaniness galore from candy innovators as creative as Disney, candy makers as odd as a Willy Wonka character, and candy revolutions as dramatic as the Hunger Games. This is an 80-page sassy lil' book on the history of candy with loads of sweet history, timelines, recipes, puzzles and more.
