This is an exceptional book for anyone interested in periods of our country's history and who enjoys reading memoirs and auto/biographies. The Delany sisters came of age in the south, growing up amidst prejudice and those horrible Jim Crow laws. They had admirable parents who raised their kids with the belief that their purpose on earth is to help others...despite the racism and bigotry they endured. The author has the sisters tell their stories in their own words, alternately inspiring, funny, sad. I loved the book.

I have this book cross listed with Book Crossing and there is a sticker on the first page of reviews.
