If You Come Softly by Jacqueline Woodson

5.0

This book has been what I have been looking for. I wanted a book that talked about the truths of being in an interracial couple and this book delivered. The challenges and beauty of being a black and white couple in this society were shown perfectly. This book was filled with love, tragedy, and feelings/moments I cannot even describe.

The power of this novel is unlike most books I have ever read. In the 180 pages, Woodson created a retelling that will be long remembered.
