Name Ain’t Sugar is a comic prison tale set in Louisiana during the nineties, told by a very unlikely narrator. We hear of Brad, a simple cowboy from the piney woods of Bossier Parish, who has had little contact with the world beyond those woods. At Angola Penitentiary, Brad serves his time in a secret prison camp for 'problem' inmates. On his quest to compete in the prison rodeo, Brad faces prejudice-but also discovers he has more friends than he realized.There are prison rodeos, a prison break, a chain gang, and a riot. The story includes a prison medic, two beauty queens, an arsonist, two Saints fans, a dog, six cats, a turkey, a dozen cows, and a unique horse. It begins in New Orleans and explores serious subjects such as grief, prejudice, gender identity, and death-though always told with hope and humor.The narrator may be speaking of Angola when she tells Brad, 'We’re just at the bus station. This isn’t the end of the line.'
