With Inย ย Search Of Satisfaction, Cooperย gracefully portrays men and women, some good and othersย wickedly twisted, caught in their individualย thickets of want and need on a once-grand plantation.
In Yoville, "a legal town-ship founded by theย very rich for their own personal use," aย freed slave named Josephus fathers two daughters,ย ย Ruth and Yinyang, by two different women. Hisย desire to give Yinyang and himself money andย opportunities oozes through the family like an elixir. In seeking the legacy left by their father, Ruth and Yinyang pull each other, their families, and their Yoville neighbors into a vortex of ever-powerful emotion.
