Book Overview

Featuring five incredible short stories exploring love and how its presence or absence impacts family relations, friendships and romantic relationships, Some Soul to Keep draws a vivid picture of Black characters that leap off the page with their spirit and voice in the literary folk tradition associated most often with Zora Neale Hurston and Langston Hughes. With her warm narration and understanding of the human condition, J. California Cooper brings stories of Black family life in rural and small town America that are deeply moving and unforgettable.

Thanks for some of that Soul

I absolutely Loved this book. This was my first J. California Cooper Book and it will not be my last. I tell you I felt like I was sitting around the Kitchen table, Down South somewhere and just listening to one of the Elder Woman telling stories to the younger generation. I really embraced the characters' joys, pains and struggles. They were stories of everyday people that could live next door to you or me (or be you or me)...

Stories From Long Ago...Encouraging Women

This is one of my favorite J. California Cooper books. Reading this book reminds me of sitting by Aunt G. as she told old stories. I give this one 5 stars. If you've haven't read any of J.'s books start with this one.
