Good Read of the Month


I stumbled across this book during one of my weekly library visits with my boys. The title caught my attention. I opened the book up, read the first few pages and began to weep. Reading this book causes me to reflect on the women in my life and causes me to do some soul searching. Letters written to our First Lady by women who are first ladies in their own rights. Women who have written about how they see Michelle Obama and how she represents them or someone they know or hold dear. Women who took the time to write a heartfelt letter to someone they admire and respect. I love this book of letters/compliments and will cherish it with all my visions of Michelle Obama and her family, our First Family. It's a showcase of love, that will always spring forth tears of joy and admiration for that family of brown folk in the White House. I thank the authors, Barbara A. Seals Nevergold and Peggy Brooks-Bertram, and I thank the all first ladies who wrote the letters and poems to Our First Lady Michelle Obama.
