If You Come Softly is about Jeremiah who is fifteen and black and Ellie who is fifteen and white. They meet at a private school and fall in love and then have to deal with how society treats them because they’re an interracial couple. It was inspired by a poem by Audre Lorde that begins:

If you come softly

as the wind within the trees

see what sorrow sees.

Great read that gives poetry to love and life. An all too familiar tale in our society today, but a truly amazing story.
