Real Sugar is Hard to Find: a collection of stories by
Real Sugar is Hard to Find is a collection of stories for reluctant witches, sugar smugglers, and soil thieves-exploring the intersections of deep-rooted and timely issues such as climate change, reproductive justice, queer identities, and family trauma. Whether fantasy, science fiction, or terrifyingly close-to-home, the worlds of these stories are inhabited by flawed characters whose lives are profoundly impacted by climate change and environmental degradation. Arranged in a progression from dystopian to utopian worlds, the stories chart a path from climate despair towards resilience and revolutionary optimism. Even in the bleakest of futures, however, Kern offers reasons to hope, connect, and keep fighting for a better world. Like Kelly Link's Magic for Beginners or Karen Russell's Vampires in the Lemon Grove, Kern's stories are unflinching, intimate explorations of trauma and our deepest fears, rendered irresistible through the infusion of fantastic speculative elements and a dark sense of humor.

Praise for this book
"Even in darkness, Kern finds wonder in a single, cherished plant, a glimmer of green, a human heart unwilling to give up. Beautifully written and brimming with unforgettable characters and landscapes, Real Sugar is Hard to Find should be required reading for anyone who cares about justice for and on this fragile planet we share." -Julie Carrick Dalton, author of Waiting for the Night Song and The Last Beekeeper "Real Sugar is Hard to Find is the climate fiction the world urgently needs right now, stories I couldn't put down that chart an escape route from our current fossil fuel nightmare to a livable, decarbonized future." -Aya de León, author of A Spy in the Struggle and Queen of Urban Prophecy
