Keep the kleenex to hand...
I felt as though my heart had been ripped out of my chest and stamped on repeatedly! This book deserves all of the praise it gets. It's heartbreaking, gentle, tender and so sad (yes, I cried on a couple of occasions, and usually I do try not to do that). The Tin Man is the main character, Ellis. A man who lives on his own, works at a car factory and is a widower. This is a look back into his past and his lost loves. AIDS makes an appearance. Such a tragic story.

This series confronts the fears many women have feared in the past and still fear today. Facing a possible reality of the removal of rights to reproduction and anonymity the women of this future thought it was all but a joke. Suddenly a fundamentalist government takes power and dictates the lives of the women who are "blessed" enough to still be fertile. I recommend this series to all women and men who might not understand the fears other women have about having reproductive choices being removed as a personal choice but still have an open mind to hear those fears.

Awesome book! I was new to the series but knew this could be read as a standalone. After this, I'll surely be going back for more! Really loved the characters.. Bronx was a sweetheart and I loved Ryan to death.. tough as nails and determined to find out the truth about her past, she lives numb for years trying to get close enough to the one person who can tell her the truth. What she finds out is nothing like she ever expected. Excellent writing with an interesting storyline that just drags you in from the start!

Book Favorite

"To my knowledge, Loving Her is the first novel about an interracial lesbian relationship written by a black woman. Viewed as an artistic work, I think the novel fails. But in its exploration of a daring subject boldly shared (and written by a librarian at Fisk University) I think it has immense value. It enables us to see and understand, perhaps for the first time, the choices certain women have made about how they will live their lives, and allows us glimpses at physical intimacies between women that have been, in the past, deliberately ridiculed or obscured."
