Summary: A MUST READ BOOK
Review: I love this honest book about two wonderful sisters who lived to be very very old and never lost their way. It is beautifully written using their own words and keeping the reader tuned in until the very end. In fact, I didn't want it to end - wanted to read more and more about them. I was sad when one sister finally died and sadder still they are both gone. Thankfully, we have their very own story. Every person of every race, creed or color will benefit from the wisdom of these amazing women. I highly recommend all the books by and about the Delany sisters and I applaud Amy Hill Hearth for bringing their unique story to us.

Summary: Sisterly Love.
Review: I loved this book! It was wonderful to read for so many reasons. It was remarkable to read about American History through the eyes of two women who lived through it. It's not like reading a textbook that has no feeling. The Delany sisters shared their emotions that they experienced as they faced racism. Another aspect i loved was the way the Delany Family truly loved eachother. They didn't have much, but they had eachother. the parents instilled good values in all of their children, which resulted in very successful children. Living in a time where the term "dysfunctional family" is used so commonly, it was nice to read about a time when a family was a FAMILY! The book didn't cover just a few years, or ten or even twenty years of the sister's lives, but rather 100 years of it. You are never left wondering "Well what happened next?" because it's all there. i can totaly relate to the sisters talking about leaving home and going to college. Despite the major age gap, Young people can still relate to these two lovely sisters. PLEASE READ THIS BOOK!

Summary: One of the greatest autobiographies in American literature
Review: I read this book when it first came out in 1993, and I still read it for inspiration. I am trying to get some copies for a African American History program coming up and I recalled that I never did a review on this great book, so here I am. Now these ladies have really told a marvelous story on their lives. It is honest,to the point, and a great oral history from two ladies who told it from the hip and wasn't ashamed of it neither. I was sorry to hear that they both passed on, but thank God, we still have their books to remember them by. Personally, this book should be read by every American,non American and every African American who feels that in spite of obstacles they can't make it. well, here are two examples that did. One was a school teacher and one was a dentist and both worked during segregation. Their whole family were college educated as well. I really liked Bessie. She could have kept you laughing. I know that this is probably not telling you much about these ladies, but take my word for it, once you read it, you won't be disappointed when you do.

Summary: my opinion
Review: I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who would like to learn more about America's history over the past 100 years. Or, you can read it just to be entertained from the point of view of two old ladies sharing their humorous biography. This book keeps the reader in tune with both of the sisters' feelings, who led very interesting lives. I must say that both sisters tend to be opiniated; but, they have a right to be, and they are just sharing with the world these insightful views.

Summary: A must-read for all Americans!
Review: I really like this book. It is well-written, moving, inspiring, fascinating, and never boring!!! Over the course of the century in which they lived, the sisters saw a lot of change. They reflct on it very well, each in their own distinct voices: Sadie is quieter and "nicer", while Bessie is much more outspoken. They not only witnessed history, they also contributed to it: Sadie was the first "colored" teacher to teach home-ec in New York high schools, and Bessie was the second "colored" woman to become a dentist in New York. They truly led remarkable lives, and thanks to their family values, different techniques and sheer determination, they succeeded in a white society. This book isn't just for black people or women, but for all AMericans to read and cherish.

Summary: Having Our Say
Review: I recomend the book Having Our Say. This is a fantastic novel and also a real story. My personal opinion is read it! I had fun, laughed and also cried at so many anecdotes and at the various personalities. Bessie was strong mandatory and feisty. Sadie was nice and easy, I learned how I can live longer. The Delany family are heroes.
