review 1: Makes ya think for sure and kinda gives you a sense of what all women went through during that era. I feel for both not only because of equality and segregation but for the children that grew up during this time not understanding and "getting" that segregation was wrong but being told "that's just what we do". The relationships and bonds that some of these women shared were touching. And then there were some that were...not so much and I couldn't understand as a human being you could not be compassionate for another human being no matter what the color of their skin is.
review 2: Got this on the $1.00 table at The Strand in NYC. It tickled me to find a book on this subject so far from home. I read it on the long drive home, and I loved it. It reminded me of ... morethe stories my Mama had about 'Bessie', when she was growing up, reminded me of some of my old clients, that were born just a couple of generations out of the slave South, and it reminded me of my own personal motto "Everyone has a story, and an extraordinary one." less
