African American women need this book. We spend so much time taking care of others that we often forget about ourselves and health.
Great

I enjoyed this book very much so. I have a lot of medical books because it is good to have a second opinion even if it is just yours. I wanted a book that targets black women and this one is just that... a great book
GREAT book! A must for us all.

I agree with the earlier message. This book has to be the best book on women's health and black womens' health i've read ever in my life. It's very easy to understand. I see my mother and sisters behavior in here. Okay, it sounds like me too. After reading this book i showed it to my ob-gyn doctor and he also felt it was excellent. He said more patients should do that inventory. I'm going to go meet the author Dr. McCloud tomorrow here. I already have her book, but maybe she'll sign it anyway.I like the authors "stories" that I can relate to easily, especially the one about not wanting to accept a condition; that sounds like me and my family. Instead they say to acknoweldge it and act accordingly. Those "prescriptions for your soul" are wonderful. And the section that deals with black parents and their kids talks about the same things Bill Cosby recently said. Not everything is whitey's fault with us, you know. This is a fantastic book, medical, spiritual and social. Every black woman we know should read it, and I read a lot of books. Good job.
Finally! A definitive health book for black women.

Where has this book been? Thank you Dr. McCloud and Ms. Ebron for FINALLY getting a book to us that totally addresses the issues we women of color must face. But all women can use this book, but I'm glad it focuses on how serious the state of black women's health is. I read Body and Soul many years ago, but this is even better, with a ob-gyn writing it and in plain English. I really love the medical information but each chapter gives cool spiritual advice to get through whatever, medical or just daily life. They could have included more diagrams, though, but I still say five stars, ten stars! All women, all black women should get this book. ABsolutely complete, easy to read, informative and leaves you feeling like we can make a difference in our health. Right on, sisters!
