Summary: Wonderful!
Review: I wish I had a Mother like Betty! I told my family about being gay and they flipped out. I read the book and got some idea why parents react the way they do when they hear the news! Till my parents come around-five years on and still waiting, I know that I can read Betty's book and get wonderful support from the parents (especially Nan) in Melbourne's PFLAG chapter. Can't wait for Betty's next book and I wish she was President of that crazy country called the US of A1

Summary: Do a favor for your parents & yourself - buy them this book.
Review: I'm a gay male who purchased a copy of Betty's book for my own reading. By the time I was done, I bought two more copies - one for my parents and another for my sister. I realized that they might benefit from a book written from "their" point of view.It's so important that messages like Betty's get out to the world. Not just the gay and lesbian world, but the world in general. Simply put - "Love one another." I can only hope and wish that Oprah or some other high-profile media outlet picks up a copy and gives this book the promotion it deserves. Isn't it funny how when kids are growing up, we tell them all just how special they are.... And then when they go and show just how special they are - what our responses can be. Thank you Betty, for writing a book from your heart and soul. Nothing like this could be easy, and I thank you again for telling such a personal story so that it might benefit others.

Summary: A Mother's Love
Review: Motherhood challenges all of us. It can be the most frustrating, exhilirating, terrifying and powerful experience any woman can undergo. Betty DeGenerous brings her experience of sharing the journey of her daughter, Ellen, to new heights with her positive, uplifting style. Regardless of the challenges we meet along the way, all mothers can learn from the humility, courage and openness of Betty DeGeneres to take what is given to us in this life and make the most of it. All relationships are hard work, and all are learning experiences. Betty Degeneres teaches well what she has learned. May we all learn so much from our children, and be so blessed.

Summary: Informative, Witty and Insightful!
Review: This book was an excellent source of encouragement and education for those who are gay and their family members. Betty Degeneres looks at sexuality and the issues that it brings in society today. She speaks of her journey after finding out her daughter Ellen is gay and the acceptance and closeness that came along afterwards through the years. This book is excellent reading for anyone with gay family members or friends, and for those of us who are still struggling with our own sexuality. I loved this book! Thank you Betty!

Summary: BETTY'S STORY WAS SO TOUCHING, NOTHING CAN EVER BE SO REAL!!
Review: This book was so touching, it made me realize that being gay isn't a bad thing at all. I admire Ellen, and I love her show. I look up to her even more for her courage, and strength through all the tabloids, and chit-chat! 2 thumbs up for Betty and Ellen!!

Summary: Go Betty
Review: This is a powerful book about women. Focusing on Ellen's coming out, Betty DeGeneres gives her autobiography in a wonderful writing style. This is the memoir of a mother (twice over), woman, accidental spokesperson, cancer survivor, and supporter of gay rights. Betty is a strong woman, but as this book shows it took her many years to get where she is today. This book promotes acceptance, love, and understanding. I recommend it to both those who are coming out and to parents with gay children.

Summary: what I've been looking for
Review: This is the book I've been wishing Ellen herself would write!!! Ellen's mom tells pretty much the whole story here! But it's far from an E! True Hollywood Story type EXPOSE. Its a warm, human, family story that makes you laugh and cry! Betty tells not only Ellen's life story but her own and her son's and her sisters' and basically the entire family is touched on here. And it really is a beautifully written very real story. Betty is most definately a gifted writer. If you're an Ellen fan this book is definately for you. But you really don't have to be to enjoy the wonderful collection of personal stories that Betty shares. They could be stories from anyone's family, not just a celebrity's. I think that was the best thing about this book: where other celebrity biographies are usually sensationalistic and extraordinary this book humanizes Ellen and her family and her story.
