You actually find yourself not wanting this book to end. It is wise and wonderfully erotic! Even tho' I'm not black....I found myself in this book...all women are pretty much the same!

In her "most richly imagined novel to date" ("Emerge"), Tina McElroy Ansa takes readers to the small town of Mulberry, Georgia, a vibrant community filled with eccentric and terminally nosy folks. Here Lena McPherson has become, since the death of her parents, the one on whom everyone depends. But Lena has begun to weary of shouldering everyone else's burdens, and soon starts looking for her own problem-solver. She falls in love with a ghost.
