Nothing to Hide

"Hiding My Candy" was so interesting. The author candidly told us her story. Chablis allowed us into her life by sharing the humor and the pain. Non pretentious, down to earth, occasionally crass, but never boring. Definitely should be on your books to buy list.

I love the Lady Chablis

I loved this book. I thought it was very funny, very interesting but the best thing about it is the theme of perseverance and being who you are.The Lady Chablis is a wonderful character and so "down to earth" and in your face. Wonderful.It moved me to read of all her struggles to get where she is. Very inspiring. Such strength.I recommend you read this AND you read Midnight in the Garden of good and evil.Enjoy!

Couldn't Put It Down

I saw this amazing performer in person in Savannah, Georgia. She is phenominal on stage. I purchased her book and couldn't put it down until I was finished. Funny - I kept visualizing her as a small girl growing up in Florida - then I'd see a photo of a beautiful African-American boy in the book. She has been through alot and survived. I, for one, am glad she's still working and that this and Berendt's book have brought her some fame and happiness.P.S. The recipies are great too!!! Love the punch girl!~Danny

Just Wonderful!!

I'm glad I listened to the audio version of this book...Miss Chablis sounds so good! What an attitude, and what a voice! She is absolutely inspiring. I feel upbeat just remembering this book.

Sweet, yet surprising

This inspirational tale of a boy, his dog, their love affair, the Rev. Billy Graham, pop-tarts, and hair remover was an inspiration not only to me, but my mom who was bitten by a rare bug in Brazil and can't swallow any food. God bless you Lady Chablis! And all who sail on yo
