A wonderfully written book telling the story of a forbidden love affair. It begins in the South of the 1960's and moves forward to the early '90's and touches on several different social and societal issues and crosses many bounderies. It's the type of book that makes you think. I highly recommend this book for all adults. I only have the 1 copy, which will stay as part of my permanent collection. This is the first publishing of this author so the book can be a little hard to find. However, it can be special ordered at most bookstores or purchased online at www.publishamerica.com.
