"Jewell Parker Rhodes's characters hover. They
dance and sing and cry and whisper secrets in your ear." -Emerge
A'Lelia Bundles, author of On Her Own Ground says of Douglass'
Women--"A poetically imagined, intensely moving love story
that transcends time and place. Rhodes writes like a dream...[She]
is a master of seduction, plaiting the electrically charged fibers
of love and passion into a tightrope of adoration and longing, of
sacrifice and satisfaction. Enjoy the high wire act, loving and aching
with Douglass' Women."
