If You Come Softly
by Jacqueline Woodson
Ellie’s mothers had abandoned the family twice before, leaving them to fend for themselves. Going to a new school does not help with her feelings of security. It was bad enough that Jeremiah’s well known parents had separated, but then his father decided to send him to a primarily white private school. Jeremiah felt like he didn’t quite fit in except in his neighborhood hanging with his childhood friends. But when he saw her, everything felt right. Would the world around them accept them as a couple? Jacqueline Woodson alternates between Jeremiah and Ellie’s views moving you quickly through this love story. If you come softly by Jacqueline Woodson explores the feelings of a couple coping with society’s views of how things ought to be.
