With Wings as Eagles

This book was interesting from the start. I couldn't put it down. I laughed and cried with the main character and was totally taken into the personal problems of the family and the cultural climate the story was written in. The main characters growth and struggles as a young boy touched my heart and opened my eyes to a totally different world of poverty, discrimination, and what it must have been like growing up in the South during the years before world war 2. I passed this book along to many friends who all are waiting with great anticipation for another book from this author.

I've read this book about 24 times (all the way through)

I thought this was a fantastic book. The end of each chapter makes you want to read the next one. When the author writes another book, I'll be first in line to get an autographed copy.
