Summary: An Enjoyable Story
Review: This was my first experience with J. California Cooper, and I can't believe what I've missed all this time. The story starts slowly, but it will soon capture your attention. Cooper does an excellent job of drawing you into the book's characters. Throughout the book, she focuses on the issues of greed, incest, and adultery, and finally, some of the characters start to experience "true" happiness and love. Read this - you'll enjoy it. -- Gayle

Summary: Excellent Read!
Review: This was one of the best books I have ever read. I was turned on to Cooper by a friend and have had to read all her books. In reading this novel it was like talking to an old friend. It made you laugh, it made you cry.

Summary: A very thought provoking novel
Review: Unlike Ms. Cooper's short stories, the web she has spun for "In Search of Satisfaction" is spellbinding. The way the characters lives are intertwined are amazing. The book encounters racism, love, spiritual well being. Like most people in life they keep searching for satisfaction and what they over look most times is what is right in front of them. I can say like all her books, the theme is within the title. I am glad this book was picked for our reading group last month, I am a very faithful follower of J. California Cooper. I recommend this book to everyone. I love it.
