"The Teachings of Miss Ellie Ruth", which tells the story of a twelve year old "colored gal" in the 40's who discovers the pleasures and pitfalls of life. Romance, adultery, racism, religion, gender bias, and even a suspicious murder. It's all in this short novel, written with compassion, humor and an unrivaled understanding of history and of human nature.
Although her writings appeal more to women, men suffer from similar challenges, they just experience them differently. The way we were raised can often be our worst enemy when it comes to getting healed.
For some of you this book will touch you in a deep and personal way, like therapy. Others may take comfort knowing that you are not alone as you seek change in your life.
