"This story really made me think about the subject of Black child abandonment and adoptions. Which is the primary focus of the story. The Sisterhood of Blackberry Corner is a good book. I found myself questioning what I would do in the same set of circumstances. "

    " This was a book that has wonderfully drawn characters, a constantly twisting plot (but all the twists make sense), and a setting so vivid you want to move there. I highly recommend this story of what family truly means. "

    " This is a book about true friendship. Thora, as mouthy as she was, was there when Bonnie couldn't have a baby, when she found babies, when she organized and conducted an underground babymill, and when Bonnie found out where one baby really came from. I loved this book! "
