About the Author
Diane Wells Rivers
Taste the sweetness between the bread. Jam to the tales of deliciousness!
Sugar Sandwich © is dedicated to the loving memory of my parents, Elizabeth and Clarence Wells, and my ten brothers and sisters.
We grew up poor, but the richness of the experience led us to succeed in a variety of careers, from business owner to master seamstress, truck driver, banker, nurse, and educator.
This book is also dedicated to Ron, my husband and our children, Gabriel, Marcus, and Nicholas.
