This book was one emotional roller coaster ride. Had it not been for school, finals and work I would have finished it awhile back.

Reaching Back is so richly told. This story is full of characters and the author makes sure you get to know them one by one, and on a personal level. The story starts off with an unhappy wife that's ready for divorce. Her dad gives her a journal to read from her mom and that's when the journey starts. There wasn't a dull moment in this book! I enjoyed every single page!

One of the best books I have ever read. I stayed glued to the pages and hated to put this book down. If you own, and you haven't picked it up yet, you are missing out. I HIGHLY Recommend this one.

I remember when I went to a book signing for this book (by happenstance I was doing a performance during the National Black Arts Festival) and I met the author. She was so nice and down to earth and gave me a free copy of the book when my mother told her I was aspiring to be a writer. She signed it with an encouraging statement. I was just excited to have new reading material. But it turned out to be some of the most eye-opening material I've read in some time.

I believe this is her first book. It was not bad. I met the author at a fundraiser and got an autographed copy of the book.
