4 Stars Worth to read it
This “serving” of the Chicken Soup for the soul shows the vision, way of thinking and feelings of AfroAmerican women, which have had a so great role in the shaping of the recent history of the USA. I’ve missed more stories from the “old days”, more stories told from grandmothers to their grandchildren and I think the book would be richer with them. Also, it doens’t show the sad face of the racism many of those women have suffered and even if it’s extremely hard and sad, it’s not less true and it must be told in order to avoid such facts being repeated.
5 Stars AAWS - Chicken Soup

I purchased 5 books for Christmas presents for my mother and 4 sisters. We all feel the book is great.
The short stories can easily be related to what’s happened in your life or what’s happening now in your life; very insightful and uplifing.
5 Stars This Chicken Soup Feels Good Going Down
I’m really enjoying this book. I’m formerly an avid reader who recently has been so busy that spending time reading and finishing a good, thick book has been quite a challenge. I like this book because while I’m commuting or waiting in the doctor’s office or whatever I can choose at random any of these short, stories and get a quick “pick me up” a little lift in my spirits that gets me through my day in a better frame of mind.
I definitely reccommend it!
