This book can't hold a candle to the wonderful "Having Our Say," but it is well-worth the hour or so it takes to read it. It is a letter/conversation from 107-year-old Sadie Delaney to her sister Bessie, who died just months earlier. The two had lived together for 104 years.
It's a very slim little book which the publisher fattened up with illustrations of Bessie's favorite flowers and several completely unnecessary (and annoying) chapter introductions by the Delaney sisters' co-author (the "as told to" part of the writing team). Despite that, this little book is tender and touching and it is impossible to be anything less than inspired by Sadie Delaney.

How I loved "Having our Say". How sorry I was to hear about Bessie's passing but how happy to see that Sadie had written another book. The Delaney Sisters teach us that we can do anything: achieve our goals, overcome prejudice and adversity; that education and love of God is most important. That we can live a rich full life by focusing on the many blessings God has given us and passing his love and respect on to others who share our journey.

Picked this up off the list of a good friend; I had very much enjoyed Having Our Say. Poignant and sweet.
