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 read this book with interest and questions. In my poor Harlem family we did not condone the use of profanity, therefore can anyone discuss why the author Terry McMillan has her characters use so much of it. I am an older reader but this was a sore spot for me especially since critics seem to think this represents a typical African American family. I disagree with this assessment. In many poor Black families profanity is a no-no? Has our world changed that much?

This was a good book about a disfunctional family that was very functional at the end of it all.

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.
