My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I LOVED this illustrated novel in verse about the love story and fight to stay married between black Mildred Jeter and white Richard Loving who grew up together in Virginia. What a testament to race relations, enduring love, marriage, and family. Patricia Hruby Powell's novel in verse was delivered with raw emotion, drawing on legal proceedings, as well as the historical background of the times. A must-read by all!
