Recenzii

An important and deeply moving novel. Highly recommended
Warm, rich and satisfying
Serenity Evans is a strong African-American character who will resonate with girls who are facing transitions of their own, large or small
A warm and uplifting book, full of heart and hope
A realistic and accessible exploration of broken families, race, poverty and staying true to yourself
Watson's award-winning novels have a firm sense of place and perfectly capture an adolescent's struggle to cope with the pressures of family, friends and school while searching for who they want to be [.] What Momma Left Me is also a good choice for an English class exploring how to use poetic devices to communicate emotions and the minutiae and messiness of life
