Wild Stars Seeking Midnight Suns

“Leafing through these stories is like propping open a screen door and peering into the homes of family and friends. . . . The master storyteller sweeps us into their lives and makes us care deeply about them.”—Essence “Cooper’s style is deceptively simple and direct, and the vale of tears in which her characters reside is never so deep that a rich chuckle at a foolish person’s foolishness cannot be heard.” —Alice Walker"Cooper’s talent for capturing the lives of ordinary people pentrates this collection. . . . Those who are new to her work will appreciate her character development and artful storytelling"—Booklist (starred review)“Cooper’s stories beckon. It is as if she is patting the seat next to us, enticing to come sit and listen.”—Ms magazine
