African-American Women

What did you like most about this book?
I loved the transparency and honesty of the author's advice. The author was not afraid to delve into the taboo areas. I also enjoyed that the topic was not about male bashing. The focus was on making us
better, not bitter.

What did you like least about this book?
There really wasn't anything I can say I disliked about the book. I would have liked to see more organization and focus on the actual topic.

Any suggestions for how this book could have been better?
I would have loved to hear the author's testimony of what she did to overcome. It needs a certain amount of
soul to make us feel it. We want to hear her "voice." That would make this book awesome!!

What was your overall impression of this book?
This book provides insight on the sources of pain and struggles women have. It is the beginning of the conversation that can put us on the path to building healthy and happy relationships with ourselves and others. This is a good read.
