Austin is the international sugar capital, with the largest number of sugar babies and sugar daddies in the world. It also has one of the largest (and most notorious) Greek systems in the country. Sara attended the University of Texas as an undergraduate and was in the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. From her personal experiences, as well as extensive research, she has crafted a narrative that examines what lies beneath the social phenomena driving these current hot cultural topics.
Sara's new novel, “Sugar Baby," chronicles the online and real-life relationships of University of Texas freshmen Maddie and Jess, two roommates who make profiles on a Sugar Baby/Sugar Daddy website, one to help pay sorority dues and another just for fun. “Sugar Baby" explores how college-age women in Texas are forced to navigate through the socially acceptable fraternity culture on one end, and a new world of meeting and dating older men online in a non-traditional manner. It juxtaposes the two and leads to the question of which is really better, if either?
