Must Read!!!!!!!!

Charlotte Johnson is a very talented author. She is able to capture the very essence of the tremendous triad of being African-American, female, and southern. The richness of her writings leans the reader into envisioning that they are sharing in each experience. This book is thought provoking, ensightful, and a much needed analysis of life long love, forgiveness, infidelity, passion, and the search for the perfect union and soulmate. I was hooked on the book after reading the Introducton on page 13. My desire is that every one that I know has an opportunity to experience life through the eyes of Charlotte Russell Johnson. I have read each of Ms. Johnson's book. She is able to touch her readers in a very intimate way. Initially, I thought the book was about grief and then half way through the book it surprised me. Every reader can identify with being overwhelmed and pressured to make a life altering decision I started reading this book in the beauty shop. I was so excited that I audibly exclaimed 'oh'. I wish Oprah would have a book this exciting on her show instead of some of her recent books. It was easy for me to see the main characters dilemna. I thing everyone has had to make a choice to trust and love or embrace loneliness. After reading the book, I was forced to ask myself some questions about my own romantic life.
