WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

" This is a unique view of Americana as told through the eyes of one of seven children in the Jones family. The time period spans some 50+ years and relates the impact of societal changes to the family while at the same time keeping the feeling of the cohesion needed to persevere. . . . The author has done a great job of storytelling and changing the age of her voice as time progresses. Bravo!"

This book, the author's first, is beautifully written. . . . I almost felt like I was a part of the family getting to know each member. The happiness shone through, the camaraderie was moving, and each chapter lets us see a unique attribute about the Jones family."

"This is an excellent sequel to the Book "My Halls Hill Family." A must read for anyone who wishes to experience a black family's values of respect, support, hard-work, perseverance and the "Golden Rule."
