Day 16 – As Good as Chocolate:  

Today’s recommendation is the eclectic Sassafrass, Cypress, & Indigo by Ntozake Shange…..

“Sassafrass, Cypress and Indigo is the story of three “colored girls,” three sisters and their mama from Charleston, South Carolina: Sassafrass, the oldest, a poet and a weaver like her mother, gone north to IMG_1427college, living with other artists in Los Angeles and trying to weave a life out of her work, her man, her memories and dreams; Cypress, the dancer,who leaves home to find new ways of moving and easing the contractions of her soul; Indigo, the youngest, still a child of Charleston—”too much of the south in her”—who lives in poetry, can talk to her dolls, and has a great gift of seeing the obvious magic of the world.”(Description from Goodreads)

  1. I love your edition of the book. I bought this book a while back and have yet to read it. Will need to bump it up. Only wish mine came with that yummy chocolate!!

    1. This is an old edition but I’m keeping my eyes and ears open for a better one. It was a little dirty on the dust cover when it arrived. I only paid about 4€ but still Eww! That chocolate was only for the picture. Watching the calories…. 😉
