Owner of a small African-American bookshop, Miss Cozy has an unique gift: Customers who walk through her door rarely leave without a book that speaks directly to their life. But when Josephine--"Fina"--and Ross arrive in search of an obscure, unpublished manuscript written by a slave woman, Miss Cozy knows that all her visions have been leading her to this magical day. Yet Miss Cozy has no intention of selling the manuscript--no matter the price. So she offers Fina and Ross an alternative. They can read it together at the store. It was not what they hoped for, but their interest in the extraordinary love story is about as strong as their uncanny attraction for one another . . . one they both sense runs much deeper than a kiss. In the course of a few days, Fina and Ross realize that this powerful book has special meaning for the two of them--and that the path to their shared future may be linked to something that happened more than a century ago. . . .

There's definitely a difference between the modern story that is told and the story within the story. The story of Iona and Joe is beautiful and heartbreaking. Didn't care so much for the modern story... but the whole thing was just super fast-paced to really enjoy much of anything. I wonder if this was done on purpose --- either it's a beginner author or it's meant to read like a folk tale that could easily be passed orally. And that's fine---folk tales and oral stories are not usually known for their character development.
While the story was clearly written to encourage? stir up? the Black community, the truth is that most of the sentiments in this book are applicable to humanity in general. I think understanding that concept will go a long way in having the kind of society that truly shows love to one another. ( )
