About the author
Daphine Glenn Robinson
8 books9 followersRobinson’s storytelling abilities culminated during her early childhood years. Being an only child until the age of ten, a pen and a sheet of paper always provided a way of escape from boredom. While other children were outside playing, she spent quiet time in her room playing with dolls, reading, journaling and creating stories. Elements of those stories have now evolved into full-length books.
Momisms: Mama Never Told Me There Would Be Days Like This was Robinson’s premiere project, mirroring the crazy things that happened in the Robinson household after the birth of her two children. Momisms was republished as an ebook in 2011 as Mommy Moments.

Absolutely Amazing!!!

The life situations in this book is real and I loved reading how everything transpired into being a successful ending when it seemed like it wasn't going to be.

Powerful
This book dealt with so many issues - Christianity, depression, suicide, marriage, love, church. Ms. Robinson examined being saved versus believing in a higher power. Russel thought that God had led him to his future wife and despite seeing some undesirable behavior in her, he refused to go through the Christian protocol of couple counseling prior to jumping the broom. Dannica, his wife, proved to have issues that were beyond anything Russell could handle alone. He realized he didn't really know her and had wed too fast. But God! The ending was so powerful, proving that with God, all things are possible. Highly recommended.

This book dealt with depression and suicide, two issues usually not discussed in the African American community. Dannica is battling the demons of her past when she meets Russell. He sees the God in her and makes it his mission to get to know her. Their quick courtship led to a quiet wedding but their lives would be forever changed by a few actions.
Caring What People Think is a powerful novel. However, there are several editing issues that stop this from being a 4 star read. The are also several character development inconsistencies that made one flip back to re-read. The strong Christian undertone is supported throughout the book and offers opportunity to recommit to Christ at the end. A Christian fiction with a much needed tale of redemption and eternal happiness.
