💔 Character Spotlight: Sugar

From the novel Rejected by Elizabeth Simon

When Ruby first renamed her, she said it was because she was “sweet as azúcar.” Sofia became Sugar that day, and she tried hard to live up to the name.

Even in a house full of fear, Sugar searched for something good to hold onto. She laughed when she could, comforted the younger girls, and believed, at least for a little while, that kindness might keep them safe.

But survival came at a price. Sugar learned to obey, to smile when she wanted to cry, to find strength in silence. She became the older sister everyone leaned on, the one who whispered hard truths like:

“I don’t want those men touching me.”

She and Honey clung to each other through every dark moment. In a world designed to break them, Sugar refused to lose her humanity.

She is not just a victim. She is a survivor.
