Sweetness in the Skin - A Story of Survival, Colorism & Identity

Ishi Robinson’s Sweetness in the Skin is a book that didn’t just speak to me; it shouted through every page. It brought up so many emotions that I had to skip ahead just to reassure myself that Pumpkin (Akisha Patterson) would find some kind of peace.Sweetness in the Skin is a mirror reflecting stories that deserve to be heard. It’s raw, it’s painful, but it’s also powerful.If you love books that challenge you, that make you feel deeply, and that celebrate the richness of Caribbean storytelling, this one is for you.
