I thought that this was an excellent book. It touched on how history will allow itself to repeat if we don't recongnize it. Also touched on the fact that we do not have to carry our burdens alone. All we have to do it let go and let GOD. I really wish that she writes a sequel just to see how the remaining sisters survive. Now that Dorothy has passed (such a terrible death, I had a tear come out my eye) And Jackie is in the streets, and Brandy, Angie, and Gina are getting their lives together.

What I enjoyed most of this book is the spiritual aviance you sense while reading this book. It deals with true life issues that surrounds us on a daily basis. After all the hardships Angela kept facing she always knew deep down inside that God was calling her and that he gave her the inner strenght to move on and that it was ok for her to live her life as well. God help those who help themselves. At the end when Angela accepted God and give herself to him and his ways was when she truly found happiness with herself.

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.
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.
