Summary: Captivating
Review: As I read this book, I could see myself in every one of the mothers. I laughed, I cried, and I was blessed to be touched by their experiences. As a mother, it was reassuring to read that I am on the right track. Through their trials and tribulations, the bond strengthened. To the authoris: Thank you for capturing these magnificent stories. To the mothers/sons: Thank you for letting us into your life.

Summary: warm and motivating
Review: I love the way Keith Brown captures the essence of mother-son relationships in the African American family. It portrays the values that are developed between mothers and sons to produce strong black males. Each story is an example of encouraging motivation and hope for future generations of mother-son relationships.

Summary: Sacred Bond is the most encouraging book I have ever read.
Review: Shows the sacrifices and determination of Mothers who are working against the odds to raise a successful boy into a successful Black Man. The home is the first school of education for children and Mother, indeed, is the first teacher which goes with a person until the end of life.

Summary: Response to Gloria Allibaruho' Review
Review: This is to the response from Gloria Alibaruho dated 25 December 1999. I just read your review of the book, Sacred Bond: Black Men and Their Mothers. You said in your review. "All of the mothers are acquainted with life as a journey rather than a destination." I think that is a very profound statement - your focus on "journey" implies a continuous activity as opposed to "destination" which is a fixed point in time. Too often, whether we set the stage or someone else does, we focus on a fixed point in our lives, the time when the journey is completed. We forget to celebrate the activities that brought us to our goal. This celebration serves to strengthen us and provides inspiration for the next day. That is why some goals are never reached - the preparations for the journey are not made and then we loose sight of our destination. Metaphorically, it is like taking a hike in a dense forest and forgetting to bring a map or compass. I have a notebook of quotations that give me inspiration and I have just included your quotation in the book. Thanks for your words of wisdom. Sincerely, Susan Lightfeather lightfeather@exotrope.net
