In search of satisfaction?
In search of happiness?
Do you believe that love
conquers all?
If you have answered yes to
any of these questicxis then you
should read “In Search of
Satisfaction,” a compelling tale
of two sisters by J. California
Cooper.
Cooper has written a story
about Yingyang and Ruth, their
children, and the town where they
were from during the late 1890's.
The story takes place in Yoville
“...a legal township founded by
the rich fOT their own personal
use...”
At one time Yoville was the
home of a freed slave, Josephus
and his daughters, Yingyang and
Ruth. Because of untimely
circumstances surrounding the
death of Josephus, Yingyang and
Ruth were on an empowered
search for the legacy that
Josephus left behind.
During their search, the sisters
meet a vane ty of people that may
or may not be human. Cooper
adds a special ingredient to her
plot by making the Devil one her
main characters.
Ultimately the key to Cooper’s
tale deals with two forms of
satisfaction: The satisfaction one
may receive from an
achievement, and the satisfaction
(Mie may receive from deceptioa
Cooper’s characters—the two
sisters — do not know that they
are indeed searching for
happiness — a happiness lost
with the death of their father and
loss of many other loved ones
throughout this book.
But as Cooper writes, "Do not
depend on anyone else for your
happiness... TIMEisused to build
our minds, our tool to get some
satistfaction. Our minds decide
the quality of our lives."
