review 1: This book takes place in Oklahoma. The story teller tells a story about several people, and follows them through their lives. It tells a little bit about how white people treated the indians and blacks. It tells of terrible poverty, and the importance of education. There are people who take advantage of those who are trying to do the right things. There are those who prostitute themselves, and are addicted to drugs and alcohol. There are those who seek love in their lives, and finally find it when they are in their older years. There are those who have looked for wealth trying to find happiness. There is an emphasis on finding God at the end of the book.
review 2: I really enjoyed J. California Cooper's way of story telling. Her way of writing made you... more feel as if you were right there interviewing the story teller. The "Y" that was refered to was done very well. The way that these families lived their lives right next to each other, but oblivious to what was going on aroundnthem and the changes that were happening in the world. The love story was truly a very good love story. Old love or young love, it's still love. less
