Popping over to Amazon right now to order the dvd. <br /><br />Hi Barb, I'm wondering why you didn't finish the book. I notice Amazon book prices have gone sky high ... higher than the local book stores.

The cast is brilliant!

Though I did not finish it, it was both a lighthearted and a realistic look at the diffiulties of African-American women in years past.<br /><br />A must read.<br /><br />Happy weekend.Barbhttp://photodreamin.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-41005111817015667042012-03-03T13:25:56.433+00:002012-03-03T13:25:56.433+00:00It's on my list of 'to read'!

Educating, and insightful.<br /><br />I really loved reading The Street by Ann Petry.<br />Set and written in the 40s about a struggling single mother in Harlem and her constant battle, again, like your book, it's heartbreaking and telling of the injustices that the black community of the time had to endure. It's raw, and reading word by word really puts you Marthaamay O_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929805764407363212noreply@blogger.com
