Customer Reviews

I absolutely loved this book!
From the very first page, this book grabs your attention. I could hardly put it down. As a matter of fact, I finished the entire book in two days. The things Angela had to face just drew me in. There were times I was rooting for her and other times when I wanted to smack her... oooh and that Jackie- what a selfish, hateful person she was. This book is filled with drama and humor. I laughed, I cried and in the end, it left me filled with hope. I would highly recommend this book to every woman I know...as a matter of fact, I already have.

Very compelling and realistic!!
This book is very powerful. I could see reflection of my own childhood as I read about Rosa and her sisters. I was also raised by my grandmother until she died when I was ten, and the similarities of Rosa and her sisters life, were bone chillingly similar to my own. This book mirrored my life in many ways and although I continued my relationship with God after my grandmother died, there were many time I doubted him, because of the hurt and pain my brother, sister and I endured as children. I believe the past has made me the strong black woman that I am today, and I try to encourage other women and young girls, who have endure similar hurdles in their life. Sins of My Mother is a very real and thought provoking book, I literally could not put it down. I completed this book in a day and a half, it is simply brilliant. The final chapter had me in tears, because it was only about two years ago, that, I had to completely surrender my will to God, and total except his will in my life. This is one of the hardest things and strong willed independent sister could ever do; but God will take you to a place and point in your life, where you will run to him, and give it all over to him.
God bless you Terri Salter.

Encouraging
When I read this book, I was at low time in my life. I was an Angela. I wanted to be there for everyone. I placed other people wants, needs and desires before my own. After reading "Sins of my Mother", I knew I had to change, my sanity and life depends on it. I am now on the right track (taking it slowly) leaving the bad habits, which I had formed, of my life behind and looking forward to a bountiful future. I applaud you Angela for taking that leap of faith. I recommend this book to everyone - men and women young and old.
