I adored this book. A wonderful uplifting read that gives you more than readers escape but a uplifting feeling that lingers long after you are done reading. Or plainly I own this book and enjoyed it so much that I have not put it on paperbackswap (not being selfish just re-read it from time to time).

After reading Like Crazy on an Ordinary Day this book really follows the story line how one sister moves on with her life. It's really empowering to all women and I love her descriptions of life in a black town and how there really are major lifestyle differences in other cultures and races. It opened my eyes even wider and I truly enjoyed Pearl Cleage's writing style.

Audio abridgement approved by the author. Read by the author. Very enjoyable story about love and empowerment. Good characters, funny and serious at times. A nice light read (or should I say "listen"?)
