"They're back! Virginia DeBerry and Donna Grant, authors of one of my favorite books, Tryin' to Sleep in the Bed You Made, have returned with Better Than I know Myself. It has a prologue that grabs you, a story that holds you, and characters that you will care about."
- Clara Villarosa, Bookseller, The Hue-man Bookstore & Cafe, Harlem on Better Than I Know Myself
