Book Overview

NATIONAL BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE BLACKBOARD NONFICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR "Practical, hilarious, and common sense advice for self-care and self-recovery."-- Common Boundary Wise, intimate, and full of practical insights, In the Company of My Sisters is the first book by a Black psychotherapist to address the issue of self-esteem in Black women's lives. Julia A. Boyd has drawn from a wealth of experience--her own and that of her "sister circle"--to take a hard and honest look at the realities and issues Black women face. "I wrote this book to validate and celebrate who we are," Boyd has said. "We have been the recipients of many distorted messages about our ethnicity and our femaleness."

I think that Julia did a good job on this book. This book was very helpful for a black woman to read, it helps you because different women were sharing their different experiences growing up, etc. Great job Julia.jnb

Good sound reading!

By Thriftbooks.com User, December 28, 1998

" In the Company of My Sisters" by Julia A. Boyd was to say the least an educationally stimulating discussion. Although some parts were more interesting than others, it was still good sound reading. For those of us that could remember the days when hair combing was a chore and not a pleasure or romance was on edge, the various characters will take you home. For those of us searching for the inner self-esteem we no longer...
