Summary: An amazing struggle of the heart of innocence!
Review: I read this book in the car while returning from my daughter's college graduation. I didn't want to put it down. It was a refreshing change to read a biography about a horrible childhood that was written with so much love & innocence that I wasn't blubbering & boo-hoo-hooing all over everywhere. Bravo to Ms. Vansant on her remarkable ability to not only survive the tragedies of her childhood, but to overcome them & also rise to what she's become today. She must be an extraordinary person. This is the first book I've read written by Ms. Vansant, but I will definitely seek out others.

Summary: A wonderful story of the evolution of a soul...Iyanla's.
Review: For those individuals who are disappointed with an autobiographical sketch, I say: "If you cannot learn from another's story, you cannot learn from your own." I appreciated Iyanla's journey. The book is filled with subtle enlightenments for the reader to discover. For example, I found it fascinating that the very ritual which was used to abuse her (a bath) was in the end what gave her a sense of "cleansing her soul". I also noticed that she wore a bangle on the back cover photo. Nett would have noticed that, too. For those readers who are disappointed that Iyanla did not give us "more" on how to grow, remember that good teachers do not give us the answers, they give us the tools to discover our own. Thank you, Rhonda and Iyanla, for inviting us to see the evolution of your soul.

Summary: its an inspiration
Review: Vanzant is an excellent auther. She has seen the light at the end tunnel, Iyanla never gives up and looks for help in her time of need. She has really inspired me to keep going no matter how bad it gets. Yesterday I Cried- I think everyone should read because it gives you the boost that you will need to keep your head up and never let nobody hold you down.

Summary: Excellent, a review of life and lessons learned
Review: To say that when the student is ready the teacher will appear rang for me with this book. I found so many answers to questions that have plagued me for many years. I feel that I will now be able to overcome a lot of guilt over mistakes that were made in human error and for my own lack of understanding and education in many matter's. I know much has to do with the time in which I was raised. When I see my grandchildren now, I tell them how precious and beautiful they are and how welcomed. That they are smart and good.That they can accomplish anything they set thier mind to and become what ever they want,one granddaughter wants to be a doctor, I shutter when I think what would have been said to me as a child, had I stated such a dream as this. I tell my children how much I love them and how proud I am of them, I'm blessed as a mother and a grandmother. Thank You Iyanla for sharing your story, my heart cried for Rhonda, but she was a powerful teacher.

Summary: Powerful!!!
Review: I loved this book and came to appreciate Ms. Vanzant even more. She told her story to help somebody and it reached me in a powerful way. Her journey has not been an easy one but the way in which she shared her lessons, growth and vulnerabilities is helpful to others, and INSPIRATIONAL.

Summary: I WAS SMILING THROUGH MY TEARS
Review: I am 53 years old, have been married 3 times,and until today have looked to others for love and validation. I have raced through life like an out-of-control train constantly reaching out to others....until now...this book stopped me in my tracks and gave me immediate peace. My heart is full and there is a new world out there just waiting for me. I normally pass on books to my friends after I have read them. This book, however, is for my newest and very best friend..Me!

Summary: EXCELLENT READING!! OPENED MY EYES TO A FEW THINGS
Review: I FIRST SAY IYANLA ON OPRAH - THOUGHT SHE WAS A HOOT. "SAVE YOURSELF" - WHEN I READ "YESTERDAY I CRIED" I THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT BOOK. I COULD RELATE TO RHONDA AND HER FATHER! AS A MATTER OF A FACT, THE PARAGRAPH WHERE SHE SAYS "I SPENT SO MUCH TIME BEING ANGRY WITH MY FATHER THAT I FAILED TO REALIZE HE DID THE BEST HE COULD" I SOBBED. THAT RESINATED SO WELL WITH ME AND MY LIFE. I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL SHE WRITES ANOTHER BOOK, I WILL BE WAITING IYANLA!!
