Love Changes
In the 1950s, colored people and whites do not mix much. Different neighborhoods, different schools, even different drinking fountains keep everything separate. Comfortable. Safe.
But changes are creeping into Jake Schultzs Chicago neighborhood-changes that could force Jake to reexamine the way he looks at race, changes that could lead his young son, Mark, to the love of his life, changes that hint at profound shifts to come.
The changes start when a know-it-all colored woman, Mama Rose, moves in right next door to Jake. Her granddaughter, Shelly, forms an immediate bond with his son, Mark. Their love story spans decades, and leads them to a choice. Will they be able put their differences and secrets aside and allow love to transform them?
Sherry Lucille has worked with teenagers as a guidance counselor and director of dance for almost two decades. She speaks professionally on the topics of self-esteem, identity, and conflict resolution.
