Black Mothers: Songs of Praise and Cellebration

My mother, Kristin Clark Taylor, is a wonderful and amazing woman. She has conquered many obstacles throughout her windy path of life, and she has the amazing ability to give birth to this amazing book. My mother writes this book so eloquently, is brings tears to my own eyes, just hoping to be just as an amazing mother as her mother was to her, and she is to me. This book is trully inspirational.

I can't say enough about Black mothers. I especially liked the pictures that the author included of black mothers and their kids from way back. There is scriptures included, and all so personal accounts from different people about their mother. The last chapter had me crying because it was dealing with people that had lost their mothers. A great book to have in your collection

The reviews of this book have been deservedly and enthusiastically positive. It's a wonderful and useful book in all ways. There is a wide range of sources and source materials, and evocative illustrations. The one additional thing that I wished for is an index, especially of the men and women quoted. In a sense this book really is to a large extent a collection of quotations, and an index would be appropriate. All in all, a wonderful book.

Black Mother's: Songs of Praise & Celebration, is humorous and on point! It's humorous because IT IS ON POINT! (smile). I wasn't seeking the book out, I just happened upon it. It reminded me of things my mother said to me, or I've heard friends say their mothers said to them. And you know the old cliche "you'll never hear me say that to my kids"; well you do find yourself saying it to young people and you think two things - one, "I feel so old"; two, "I've turned into my mother - how'd that happen?"(ha-ha) Great book! Congrats to Kristin Clark Taylor. It was my first time encountering her work.
