It is a story of a wonderfully, strong woman Mae Lee. With all the hoopla over "The Help" this is another take on the lives of whites and blacks living together in small communities. This is a feel good book and an easy read. I am looking forward to reading her 1st book "Clover" and hope Dori will bless us with another book soon. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Dori Sanders' first novel, CLOVER was a smash hit. Now, with HER OWN PLACE, Dori Sanders tells a story about ordinary people taking part in a transformation of heart and mind--in the South, in the nation. "Resonates as powerfully as an old hymn."--Kirkus Reviews; "Like a ripe summer peach, HER OWN PLACE just keeps getting better and better until the last page leaves the reader longing for more.
