Description

Sweetness in the Skin tells the story of Pumkin Patterson's life in a two-room house in Kingston Jamaica. Her home is filled with love and warmth, thanks to her devoted grandmother and Aunt Sophie, but also turmoil and conflict, as her mother struggles to care for her.

When her estranged father shows up, Pumkin finds solace in baking, creating sweet potato pudding and apple turnovers that bring her a sense of peace. But when Aunt Sophie is offered the chance to move to France, Pumkin must find a way to raise the money herself to join her.

As Pumkin navigates her difficult home life, she discovers the value of friendship, community, and her own talents. Will these support her in finding a better future?
