Members Reviews:
Welllll
That was deep, in my opinion. I didn't know what to expect with this book, but it was so good, so real, so thought provoking.
I can't come up with anything else.
Excellent read.
A family crushed, then redefined
When Pamela's father leaves their home in Brooklyn in the `70s, he leaves a family of deeply injured women--a wife who slips into madness and three daughters who hide their anguish and loss deep in their souls. They are forced by their altered economics to leave their shabby but beloved house in East New York and move into the projects, and the girls' lives change irrevocably. In doing what each must to do to survive, Pamela and her sisters Nona and Theresa forge a new and vital strength in their re-defined family. This is a story of making human connections in spite of the pain of a difficult life, and Glover tells it deftly, lovingly and not without humor. She paints her characters completely, yet without a stray detail; they are as natural and believable as their Brooklyn Black dialect.

This book was a good. when a woman loves a man she loves hard and without a doubt
Reality hurts and it is hard that what I liked, no man is perfect to include a good man, dislike
smooth transaction
Decided to order on line though not familiar with author. satisfied with online presentation it was a good description and it was a good guide.
So good I read it twice
Theresa, Pammie and Nona are sisters whose bond is strengthened through the stresses and struggles of life.This book brought me smiles, laughs and plenty of tears as the sisters fight to survive and thrive when their father leaves them, and their mother suffers from mental illness, drifting in and out (mostly out) of reality. Being a child of the 70's, I had flashbacks of life in the city; the noises, music, sights, and sounds. I never lived in the projects, but I remember driving past them in my hometown of Detroit. The Jeffries and Brewster Projects; towering reddish brown brick buildings clustered together in groups of 4 or 5. Those same projects gave birth to Diana Ross, Lily Tomlin, and Loni Love. Do I dare imagine Theresa, Pammie or Nona achieving such success? This book leaves me wondering just where they end up.
