onehottamale25 's review for:
If You Come Softly
by Jacqueline Woodson
As a black woman married to a white man who was not too far behind the ages of Miah and Ellie at the time this was written--and who was on the brink of my own interracial relationship--I was hit hard and heavy by the weight of this young love and the trickiness of navigating it in public where not all parties take kindly to loving who we love. I recognize there's a uniquiness that comes to every interracial couple's story, and I know it can make a difference (to our society) which sex is which race. It was really something to read that story unfold between two adolescents trying to figure out what to do with all those feelings and dynamics. My only disappointment is that I hadn't been aware of this book when I was in the thick of things in my youth.
