"It was a summer of James Brown, a year after Otis Redding was lost in a plane crash, and Motown which, with its talent school-trained artists who epitomized in many ways the upwardly mobile American journey, ruled the popular culture of a country adjusting to Vietnam, hippies, and creeping integration. It was a time when Black people had style, real style, and soul music could be felt by almost everyone."

"Only when he understood the enormity of his young-man decisions did he long for the sagnctity of his ever-present familial mantle of protection. Only when change threatened his sense of himself did he understand the safety in continuity. And only when love was gone did he understand its loss."

"Strong men whimpered when around her, occasionally wishing for the more steady-footed challenge of a battlefield, a production line, or a pair of goalposts when confronted by this particularly vexing and sensual woman.
She attracted attention everywhere she went. Her laugh was classic, a lilting ha-ha-ha, with her head thrown back, her delicious mouth curled, her upturned face glowing effusively whether in light or shadow, her green eyes pools of ecstasy revealing a passion for living."
