In Search of Satisfaction

Praise

“Marvelously textured and layered with voices that weave in and out of each other but never collide.” —Los Angeles Times

“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

“An old-fashioned morality tale that quickly engages the reader in the lives of a large cast of unforgettable characters.” —The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

“The wicked and righteous reap their just rewards in Cooper’s calamitous, unabashedly preachy family epic.” —The Plain Dealer

“Cooper writes  about small-town life with a verve that nearly bursts off the page.”
