(I'm still in the process of finishing this book.)
it is about racial conformities and how they are sometimes imposed upon us whether are not we notice it.

It definitely brought into my perspective how lucky we are to have progressed so much racially as a society. However, there is always going to be more that we can work on. Of Love and Dust reminds its readers not to take anything for granted.

It is a quick read and very worth your while.

Like watching a train wreck: You know what is probably going to happen at the end and you just can't look away. A fast read and a well-told story.

Deceptively simplistic, and engaging in that simplicity. It's a great story.
