Presented through the alternating voices of Mildred and Richard Loving, the reader enters the lives of two people in a tight-knit community who fall in love and are forced to leave the world they have known. We grow up with them and understand their quiet strength. Patricia Hruby Powell sets the Loving's story within the historical context of the Civil Rights Movement thereby allowing readers to gain a greater understanding of the fight for equal rights, at both the personal and societal level. -Jennifer Kelley Reed, Teacher Librarian and blogger at Reederama

An impressive level of detail, and vivid depiction of the social environment. -The Horn Book Magazine
