I loved the "plain folk" approach to telling this story. It is one person's story during one of the most historical eras of American history. Ms. Moody just tells us about her life and somehow it's almost unreal. I wish that I could talk to her or at least see a picture of her now. I want to pay homage to her and let her know that her experience mattered to me.

I don't think even writing a review is doing this book justice. This was not some fairy tale or novel-this was and is real life for African Americans, Blacks, Coloured, Negros, or whatever society has characterized us as. The end is so poignant that it shows that the struggle is ongoing, even in the twenty-first century. No modern day movement has absolutely no business comparing itself to the Civil Right Movement! You don't have to like the author's disposition, but she snatches the curtain back on the ugliness that still exists. Great Book!

Definitely a must read. It is sad to imagine all of the brutality during the civil rights movements. I admire all of the brave souls and faced it head on to make this country what it is today.

I think anyone learning or interested about the civil rights movement should read this. Won't forget it

After i bought it and was half way thru the book dissapeared from my library but i just had to download it again :) And i LOVED the book!! Very inspiring!!!

Stole my money. Thanks I-tunes.
