The sound of them is lovely, memorable, haunting." --<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i> <p/>"Gutsy and familiar...Cooper's power comes from sticking to her instinct, which is to tell a story, plain and simple." --<i>The Washington Post</i> <p/>"Ms. cooper is as down-home as Zora Neale Hurston, thank you, and blooming into as skilled a storyteller. Cooper's characters are the folk heroes of black culture...Tales of triumph that give you reason to keep reading." --<i>Essence</i> <p/>"These stories are jazzy, clubby, folksy, small towny, populist, perky, and if you don't like them, you must be in an absolutely unshakeable bad mood..." --<i>Carolyn See, Los Angeles Times</i> <p/>"Both men and women are treated with such bemused love that these tales of passions gone astray are transformed into celebrations of life." --<i>MS.</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>J.
