Your Blues Ain't Like Mine by Bebe Moore Campbell

5.0

---

I would give this book more than 5 stars if that was an option. There are several stories going on at the same time that start in the deep south when prejudice and injustice against blacks was the law of the land. A young man from Chicago visits Mississippi and deals with the consequences of speaking French to a white woman. Another white man in this same town has a controlling father who dictates who he is allowed to love. Marrying a person beneath his station or who is not white is out of the question. This book was so good I could not put it down. You should definitely add this book to your T0-Be-Read list.
