September 24, 2009: It wasn't a great book but it wasn't bad either. I personally didnt like it, it was completely different from what i expected it to be. But if you have the patients for it, you might really enjoy it. I on the other hand was completely bored.
I Also Recommend: Chicken Soup for the African American Woman's Soul (Chicken Soup for the Soul Series).
