I'm really enjoying this book. I'm formerly an avid reader who recently has been so busy that spending time reading and finishing a good, thick book has been quite a challenge. I like this book because while I'm commuting or waiting in the doctor's office or whatever I can choose at random any of these short, stories and get a quick "pick me up" a little lift in my spirits that gets me through my day in a better frame of mind. I definitely reccommend it!

I have enjoyed reading about the joys, the struggles, the good and the bad of this wonderful culture. Women have many roles, moms, daughters, sisters, aunts, wives, friends. I have enjoyed reading about all of these roles from personal experiences and veiws of the writers. I recommend it to everyone who enjoys good reading and want to know more about the phenomenal black woman.

This is a great read! The stories are uplifting, inspirational and soothes the soul. I met quite a few of the contributors in LA at the Staples Center release and they were personable, touchable and very encouraging. If they can do it, so can you! That was the feeling I got from each of them especially Lisa Nichols. LOL! Buy the book and see for yourself. I LOVE THIS BOOK! CW in Philly

On the pages of `Chicken Soup for the African American Woman's Soul' are stories of women who transcended, transformed, emerged, elevated, developed, and celebrated! Parents, Grandparents, Marriage, Children, Religion, Friendship, and the workplace have all played a significant role in the African American Sister's journey. This book provides you an opportunity to relate to and understand some of their circumstances. Some of these true stories speak of their hair, their body sizes, or their economic situations. Yet, each author takes you to the place in their life where divine intervention stepped in and showed them the potential for happiness or success in their future. The book is artistically divided into sections like; THE SHOULDERS WE STAND ON, IT TAKES A VILLAGE OF MOTHERS, BEAUTIFUL--JUST THE WAY I AM, and BREAKING THROUGH MY BARRIERS. The stories are written by celebrities, professionals, historical heroines, housewives, students, retirees, and many others. Yet, the common threads you will find through-out the entire book are sisterhood, growth and healing. I enjoyed each and every story and found myself thinking of similar times in my life and the African American Women who influenced me. Reviewer: H.
