THE HOUSE AT SUGAR BEACH:
In
Search of a Lost African Childhood
By HELENE COOPER
Reviewed by: Gloria Taylor Edwards for Simon & Schuster's
Reader Advisory Board
THE HOUSE AT SUGAR BEACH: In Search of a Lost African Childhood, penned by HELENE COOPER, is a vivid memoir of Cooper’s life among the Liberian elite before
and after the devastating coup that left Liberia war-torn, and many of its residents dead or scattered to other lands.
Cooper’s work is an important slice of ‘world’ history, and should encourage some much-needed dialogue on
American Black ‘freemen’, the founders of Liberia, and the survival / lives of their descendants. This book is
an engaging, highly-recommended read.
