(I'm sure, by the bye, that I read this little gem before Oprah did, but I'm glad she included it on her list too - her outreach is bigger than mine.)
This is a sassy, savvy novel, full of heartache and adversity but in a creative, inviting way. No moralizing, no self-justifying, no BS. Pearl Cleage writes a finger-snapping, street-wise story that takes hardship and family tragedy as they come, and requires you to move through them with her. Life is hard, and you still have to live it, and live it with grace ; that is the most important lesson and the hardest one to learn.
