"This book is VERY GOOD. It feels like a novel and a history lesson in one. I felt love for Sister B. She went through some "stuff" and still kept her integrity and constant positive attitude. In my opinion, she was a Super Heroine!" —Joyce Beacham, Vicksburg, Mississippi "I loved learning about Willie Mae. I did some research about her. She sounds like she was the type to never give up on things, who thought about how she could be of service to the people in her community, and who wasn't afraid to do what she thought was right." —Kate VandenBerghe, Portland, Oregon "An intriguing, admirable work of fiction that skillfully blends one woman's autobiography with real events and fantastical elements to create a complex, literary, historical narrative. A remarkable tribute." —Kevin Miller, Author & Filmmaker.
