Reviews

[Cynthia Bemis Abrams · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a wonderful blend of musings, poetry and frank narration! Pearl Bailey was highly respected for telling it like it was and it's wonderful that publishers saw the importance of getting those words to her legions of followers. Words written 50 years ago still hold sentiments that ring true today.
