Set in Tokyo, McCarver introduces readers to Japanese culture. This story is about an African American woman and Japanese Man. It is about an older woman and a younger man. It is about western cultures mixing with eastern cultures. It is about forbidden love. It is about secrets and traditions and so much more. McCarver packed a lot in 280 pages but it was well worth reading. I cheered and cried with Charlene and Kane as they discovered their love for each other and struggled with secrets that tried to keep them apart. McCarver did an excellent job of explaining the culture and language for readers. This book is recommended for book clubs that are looking for a different type of romance that will spark plenty of discussion.
