Sugar Tide: A Short Historical Romance of the 1919 Boston Molasses Disaster (American Ashes #19)
Gordon J. MacKenzie
Boston’s North End, January 15, 1919. Rivets pop, a steel tank ruptures, and a twenty-foot wall of molasses tears through Commercial Street. Rosa, a baker who counts what’s next, and Tom, a dockside handyman with a shovel and steady hands, lever paths through syrup, pull neighbors from wreckage, and turn hot water and rags into rescue. Inspired by the real Great Molasses Flood—failed rivets, winter cold, Navy-yard aid—this one-sitting love story lands on earned hope and the vow to build with bolts, not paint.
Includes a Historical Note and an Author’s Note. Reading ~25–30 minutes. Clean/slow-burn; rich period detail.
