(The New York Times), Harris paints evocative portraits of her illustrious friends: Baldwin as he read aloud an early draft of If Beale Street Could Talk, Angelou cooking in her California kitchen, and Morrison relaxing at Baldwin?s house in Provence.

At the center is Harris?s relationship with Sam Floyd, a fellow professor at Queens College, who introduced her to Baldwin.
