Review: "Family" is a book that must be read. It is a touching, powerful book. This is one of Ms. Cooper's most dynamic books. "Family" is a generational book. It is sensational. Much praise for "Family."

"Family" shared insights into the institution of slavery. The bitterness a race suffered, but yet the courage of that race to survive. "Family" is about a mother, who did not want her children to live as she was forced to live or to endure the misery forced upon them, but in which they had no control. "Family" is moving. Indeed, some of the events will bring tears to your eyes. "Family" is about survival.

Ms. Cooper is an exceptional author and has truly captured the essence of what it is to be a 'family.'

Summary: What a Book, What an Author
Review: I read "Family" years ago, but it was, and still is, the best book I've read in life, along with another of J. California Cooper's books, "A Wake in the Wind." Ms. Cooper's fancy for telling a story is one of the best. Not only are you being entertained, but you're learning about our past as a people. I've read every book that Ms. Cooper has written and am looking forward to her next release. Thanks Ms. Cooper for being the storyteller that you are!
