All-in-all, this is a delightful series that I heartily recommend. Now I just need to find out how to get to view the mini-series. I'm hoping PBS (or my local PBS station) will pick it up.
As an aside, if any intereset, this is now an HBO series (based on the first book) starring R&B songwriter, poet, singer Jill Scott. First episode was last Sunday.
