Publisher Description
The film, television, and comedy legend tells the hilarious and moving story of how tough love, and a sense of humor made him the man he is today
By the tender age of five, Bernie Mac had found his calling: making others laugh. He has since become the star and cocreator of Fox’s hit sitcom The Bernie Mac Show; a stand-up legend; and a hit movie star in Head of State and Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. Now this amazing comedian delves deep down inside to retell the poignant and hilarious story of his childhood and the people who helped shape him into the comedian—and the strong and self-reliant man—he is today.
When young Bernie Mac lost his beloved mother to breast cancer, and faced an astounding number of other hardships, he remembered the “Mac-isms” she taught him: You have to meet all of the challenges, big and small. Because how you start is how you finish. If you want a helping hand, look at the end of your arm. These tough-love lessons gave him an inner strength that led him to choose hope over despair, and to follow his dreams. Maybe You Never Cry Again is a powerful testament to how a mother’s love made everything possible for Bernie Mac by teaching him to believe in himself.

" This was so sad to listen to, not a Bernie Mac stand-up routine at all. He has a good story to tell, but a severely sad one, don't say I didn't warn you. "
— Kimberly, 9/30/2013 -
" If you didn't get his humor, you will get his memoir. "

" Did not know who Bernie Mac was before I read his story. Still have never heard or seen him outside his book. Very powerful story of where he came from and how he got to where he is. "

" It was not as funny as I thought it would be nor did his literary eloquence compensate for the lack of diversion. "
— Divine-Asia, 2/1/2013 -
" I think this book is very detailed and it expresses so much about himself as a child growing up in Chicago. I discovered the truth of his wife and kids and how his career first started.Its pretty funny because he wrote some of his acts in the nook from Kings of Comedy. "

" Bernie Mac is a compelling storyteller, this memoir sucked me right in and I read it in 24 hours. His struggles kept coming, but he perservered. It breaks my heart that he died so young. A lot of good thoughts and lessons for a person who desires to follow a dream that others might not believe in. "

" Bernie Mac is as funny and endearing in his book as he is in his TV show. It's a quick read and at first I was put off by the street grammar but then I could hear his voice saying the things I was reading as I read. I enjoyed it very much. "
