レビュー

  • I was not really impressed by the book because i didn't feel like the book had a point to make. The only time i picked up this book was when i had absolutely nothing to do! i think the title is more interesting than then story behind it!

  • Great book. Bought it for my student. Trying to encourage reading for enjoyment.

  • Loved loved loved this book,characters,, absolutely. This was a great read,didn't want it to end..The storyline was very entertaing.awesome story,so relatable and remind me of growing up when I was a child,highly recommend this book and author.

  • Brought this book for my wife. She was very happy and satisfied to read it again.

  • I placed my own life experiences with my mother and sisters. Then, my experience as a mother raising two children by myself, and the way each word of the character Mildred is relatable to any mother trying to figure it out and do her best, not just for herself, but more importantly for her children.
