In Some Love, Some Pain, Sometime, J. California Cooper delivers another deeply human collection of short stories filled with heart, humor, and hard truths. With her signature storytelling voice—gentle, wise, and no-nonsense—Cooper introduces characters who stumble through love, confront pain, and sometimes find grace along the way. These tales explore the beauty and messiness of being human, especially through the eyes of Black women striving for joy and meaning. It's a collection that feels like sitting down with an elder who knows the world and still believes in it.
