Industry Reviews
"It takes talent to make a love story between an AIDS victim and a convicted murderer work, but playwright/essayist Cleage more than meets the challenge in this gutsy, very likable fiction debut....Watch out, Terry McMillan. Cleage is on your tail."
(10/01/1997)
"There is a wealth of poetry in Ava's efforts to keep her head above water. Following Cleage's twists and turns of the human spirit, readers may find themselves in a very inspired and uplifted plane well before the last page."
(02/01/1998)
