If You Come Softly by Jacqueline Woodson

4.0

this was a book that i checked out from the sackville library at least three times when i was the 'young adult' demographic. i've been wanting to revisit it for years and wasn't disappointed. it was still as beautiful and poignant as i remembered. it's very much in the tradition of books like thug and it hurts to see how little things have changed in twenty years. i really do need to read more from woodson's backlist.
