In this honest and stunning novel that inspired the award-winning major motion picture of the same name, James Baldwin has given America a moving story of love in the face of injustice.

"A major work of Black American fiction." -The New Republic

Told through the eyes of Tish, a nineteen-year-old girl, in love with Fonny, a young sculptor who is the father of her child, Baldwin's story mixes the sweet and the sad. Tish and Fonny have pledged to get married, but Fonny is falsely accused of a terrible crime and imprisoned. Their families set out to clear his name, and as they face an uncertain future, the young lovers experience a kaleidoscope of emotions-affection, despair, and hope. In a love story that evokes the blues, where passion and sadness are inevitably intertwined, Baldwin has created two characters so alive and profoundly realized that they are unforgettably ingrained in the American psyche.

Fantastic Product
Most lip balms, chapsticks, lipstick etc will make my skin peel off. I don't get moisture and I end up with chapped lips and open cuts. But since this is so natural it fixed my problem. What's nice is I don't get that gunk buildup on the side of the mouth with white stuff either. This lip balm is very smooth, very hydrating and it smells like dessert. It's gonna be my go-to forever and ever.

More cinnamon flavor than vanilla
I really wanted to like this lip balm but, as another person commented, the cinnamon flavor dominates. It does moisturize quite well if you can overlook how spicy the cinnamon tastes. Would have preferred just plain vanilla instead. Not sure I'll keep this.

hot cinnamon
Only had this one day and I do like it but would like to note the cinnamon is more like hot tamale cinnamon not cinnamon roll cinnamon. still does the job but my chapped lips give a good burn for maybe 30 sec :( going to check if they have another flavor option for next order

Best lip balm I’ve found yet
Every lip balm or chapstick I have ever used has always bothered my lips and made them peel. I’ve tried cheap chapsticks to organic chapsticks to vegan and nothing has ever worked. I figured I’d give this a try since I didn’t have much to lose and I am SO glad I did. This is the first lip balm that hasn’t made my lips peel. I LOVE THIS. And the cinnamon vanilla smells divine. This is definitely going to be my go to from now on.

LIP GOO GOOD ENOUGH FOR EDS PATIENTS!!! I have old school type3, the super bad…
First of all… I used to have a desserts catering side hustle and my oatmeal scotchie recipe starts smelling EXACTLY like this combo!!! I am 51 and have tried LITERALLY THOUSANDS of chapstick type lip goos, I have a genetic disorder that prevents me from being able to absorb anything… most to all chapsticks DO NOT WORK but my lips are currently soft… it actually feels amazing to have something on my lips that seems to work!!! Instead on sitting on my lips or skin all weird and greasy til I freak out rub everything off!!! It’s working… NOT SOMETHING I WAS ACTUALLY WILLING TO ADMIT TO… My VEGAN MOTHER talked me into trying this, she’s more absorbent and can use other products, I cannot, however!!! I seriously LOVE THIS GOO!!!
