J. California Cooper

"I love all of her books, but some that really stand out are Homemade Love, Some Love, Some Pain and In Search of Satisfaction. When I need wholesome reading with some substance and wisdom about self-love and acceptance, I turn to J. California Cooper." — Chavon, Bermuda

"Her style is deceptively simple and direct, and the vale of tears in which her characters reside is never so deep that a rich chuckle at a foolish person's foolishness cannot be heard." — Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize–winning author
