Summary: Thoughts and Stories of a Delightful Woman
Review: I first saw Freddie Mae on Rosie O'Donnell. I thought she was an interesting "character". I throughly enjoyed this book. Freddie Mae tells us about her life growing up in the South and moving North to New York. She has some stories to tell! She tells it like it is. She made me laugh! The book is light, easy reading. I would love to talk with Freddie Mae. This is a book I would recommend as a gift.

Summary: like a cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter's day
Review: Thanks to Gloria Bley Miller for recognizing the simple, yet poignant story Ms. Baxter had to tell. Ms. Baxter's story is so ordinary it's extraordinary in it's basic core in the black community. My mother, her sisters, and their mother could have written this story. I love the strength and independence of black females and Ms. Baxter provides a beacon that demonstrates the values we all aspire to: truth, light, peace and harmony.

Summary: Absolutely delightful (I GIVE IT TWENTY STARS!!!!!!!!!)
Review: This book isn't really a book: the words within it don't belong on paper but in the air. Indeed, the stories they map out would hardly keep you turning the pages, if it weren't for the manner in which Freddie Mae tells them, the voice she uses, the words she chooses. It makes for a quick enjoyable read, never demanding anything more from the reader than to just listen.
