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.

Summary: Absolutely delightful (I GIVE IT TWENTY STARS!!!!!!!!!)
Review: This is the most enjoyable and insightful book I've ever read!! This lady (Miss Baxter) has beaten all of the odds. She has inherent common sense, wit and skill. I admire extremely how she's led her life: being a good daughter, a good person, a natural born leader, mercy tempered with an abundance of common sense, family oriented, etc. I just wish she could live a second life to do all the things that were denied her in her youth and beyond. Miss Baxter is an Exhorter: this is a person who brings sunshine and hope into the lives of everyone she meets. If my life could be a third as full as hers, I would die happy! And I haven't forgotten Miss Gloria Bley Miller! Miss Miller: This looks like a labor of love to me. It is an excellent work. Thank you so much for taking it all down!!!!!!
