Summary

Winner, Kirkus Reviews Editor Choice Award, 2007

By the groundbreaking author of the award-winning Monster–a visionary who influenced and inspired a generation–this story take us back to the world of 145th Street: Short Stories to show how love can be found, and thrive, in the most unlikely places.

Curtis finds love in Iraq as he struggles to stay alive in a war he doesn't want to fight, and Letha discovers her own beauty in the love of her child. There is the "good daughter" who realizes that there's only one way to help her brother and her family. Other stories center on the daily drama of the Curl-E-Que beauty shop, or capture the slapstick side of passion.

Starred Review, Booklist, June 1 & 15, 2007: "Hope lies in what the book title says, finding love and community."—Hazel Rochman

Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, July 15, 2007: "Gently told, beautifully modulated, these stories go straight to the heart."
