Review by: S Berlin on May 10, 2011 :
I never give 5 stars-think they are overdone and should be reserved only for the great books. Which this is. The writing is superb-it just flows. The story made me think of Forest Gump as Miss Maybelle lives through historic events. But it's so much more because of her emotional connections to people and places.

I wanted to just start over and reread it as soon as I finished it because I didn't want it to end.

What a good read, very enjoyable. I couldn't put this book down. So many emotions, I must admit shed a few tears. It's a pity the book had to end. I may read it again.

I absolutely loved this book! It was not only entertaining, I also feel like I got a peek into the world of a much revered photojournalist who collects friends wherever she goes. Maybelle is a tough broad but she holds so much love for her family and friends, it can't help but show once in a while. The only disappointment was having the book end.

I really enjoyed this book. It runs through so many emotions: confusion, joy, happiness and great sadness. An extraordinary woman's life captured in words, very well portrayed. It might be fiction, but it's excellent story-telling.
