Wherever there is Light - Peter Golden

I really enjoyed this book and the characters.  I can't imagine what it would of been like as a black woman in the 1930's/40's and wanting to be more than just a "slave" or being owned by someone.  Kendell wanted to make a name for herself as a person.  Photography became her passion.  She was amazing at telling the story of a person or situation through her craft.  She falls in love with Julian, a white, Jewish man.  Sadly, she can't allow the love that she has for him to complicate or throw her life off track.  She fights his love for years.  She wont allow him to "control" her (though he never tries to). 
I felt so sad for them both.  All the years they spent "together" but never together.  Julian later marries, has a daughter and tragedy strikes.  In the back of his mind (and heart), Kendell still holds a place.  One can never turn back the hands of time and I loved the ending quote "Yet as she clung to him, Julian understood that Kendall wept for him and Bobby too - because there was no adequate payment for all that they had lost - and so Julian joined her, their sobs echoing in the garage, both of them weeping as if they wished that their tears could conquer time."  What an amazing summary for time and of life. 
Can't wait to discuss this with the rest of the Pulpwood Queen's at our monthly meeting!
