The Bookcase

This book is about love and the trials one face, while in love. Love can often be very blind. This is the case with Dyllus Johnson. She was raised in Royal Oaks, a small town in Tennessee. Her parents were struggling middle class people, and she was the only child. Being the only child, she was sheltered from the seedy side of life, and the hurt it can bring. No longer young and innocent, she explains to her daughter about her and her friends’ growing up years. They were filled with comedy, sadness, adventure, and wonderment. Also, she talks candidly about her event filled marriage to Jake, her former husband, the bookcase, and her life after all the love fires have died.
