This is a beautifully written collection. The stories are reflective and thought-provoking, and have an emotion to them that laces itself between each carefully chosen word. The close dealing with race and womanhood, and often the intersection of those things, makes it feel intimately familiar, as if the characters in the stories are people that live just down the block. Evans writes characters that are painfully realistic, neither all good nor all bad, but simply human.
