If You Come Softly — Jacqueline Woodson. Jeremiah is Black, and Ellie is white. That doesn’t matter to them, and it also doesn’t matter that their worlds are wholly different. But to everyone around them, it does matter.
This was a delightful throwback to see in in my inbox. I read this in high school and remember it being sad but really liking it. I don't own a copy but I prefer the 20th anniversary or original cover, now I want to re-read it. Appreciate you highlighting this book, Woodson got me through some tough times as a teen and I want to see more folks read her backlist <3
Thanks for putting If You Come Softly on my radar. I've only listened to one of Woodson's books, and I enjoyed it. I don't know why I haven't read more of her books. That is changing as I just downloaded it from Libby.
I enjoy looking it book covers and couldn't help notice how drastically different both the book covers were? They give totally different vibes about the book. I wonder which cover suits the story inside more.
