This book keep me wanting more. I couldn't wait until my walk the next day to listen. A great book about mother and daughers and running out of time.

A very interesting story

After listening to this book, twice I found it to be extremely interesting and enlightening. Miriam learns that life can be very lonely, even more so when you hardly know the ones that you love. The audio book is better than reading the paperback.

The Narrator

it should have been an epilogue that tells more about what happened later on or next

Uncertain

While listening to this book I sometimes couldn't determine who lifetime we where living in that moment. Was is the main chracter's, her daughter's or her mother's?

must read!

deep and beautifully written! must read for every black woman or girl. We often forget to love each other our daughters.

An Excellent Read!

This book kept me captivated from beginning to end. Although written 20 years ago, it is relevant for today. The narrator really brings the story to life. I can't aptly put into words how magnificent this book is and very well written, Worthy of a movie! Good choice for a book club too.

Great Storyline with a Hitchcock ending!

The story moves along well - then gets crazy at the end. There where times when the delivery had even more Impact than the situation, bringing Toni M. to mind.

The story was interesting enough as things went along. But the narrator made everyone and everything come to life.

The ending was way too chaotic for me but the storyline and narrator made it worth getting through the ending.

Expecting more....

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

The reader was fine, the book was trite. It took serious racial, social, economic and political issues and made them into something less than soap opera. I expected much more. I also expected prose that was closer to poetic than pedantic...
