What People Are Saying:
“ Gil Robertson’s book is nothing less than a public service. In an era where the decline of the African-American family and the estrangement of black women from black men are real and abiding dangers, this book reminds black folk of a simple, soul-saving truth: love is, still.” - Pulitzer Prize winner journalist Leonard Pitts
“In a time of warp speed living, Gil Robertson gives readers an ‘oasis of perspective’ to rest in-reconnecting with what we’re all born to do..LOVE.” -Actress & bestselling author, Victoria Rowell, Actress & bestselling author
“This revealing and inspiring anthology that brings together creative spirits who make you feel like old friends and confidants. They tell the “naked truth” about their personal love life’s including the rekindling of lost or neglected love to the forbidden and the heartbreaks. The intimate collection is truly an excellent read for inspiration and enjoyment.” -Gladys Smiley Bell, Director of Harvey Library – Hampton University
