I think this book relates to families in a new perspective.In today's society, African- American families are struggling in the American society, trying to get a foothold.This book truly reflects what is happening today and i must commend Terry on a job , once again, well done.Text

I found the book to be very interesting. I really enjoyed reading the book. It brought back a lot of memories of my early childhood. The more I read it, the more I started missing my grandmother who is now deceased.

I have been waiting for a very long time for the next Terry McMillan next
book, and I'm glad to say it was worth the wait. It made me laugh and cry (and
boy did I cry!). I have learnt alot from this book and I really enjoyed it. Keep
Up The Good Work Terry!

I have never read a book in my life that has made me to appreciate my family, friends and my surroundings even more than before. It has taught me that life has a lot to offer and one must be brave enough to take the risk before it becomes too late. The author has also in a way prepared me as I will be taking the big step into the marriage world and not to expect too much from your loved ones and to take one day at a time. Thanks! Terry McMillan. You have made my mom go absolutely crazy with me because I haven't been able to put the book down right up to the end.
