Cocoamo

Cocoamo

Cocoamo (Co-ka-mo) is a loving, endearing name given by a grandmother to the innocent, impressionable young boy within this story. The novel follows the Newman family in Jacksonville, Florida during the late 1960s and early 1970s as they encounter hardship, prejudice, joy and pain.

The story emphasizes the importance of a loving and supportive family structure, the unconditional bond between a mother and child, and the influence parents and grandparents have on the people children become.
