“Exciting and wonderful! I gave it to my mother, my sister, my daughter, my whole family. Anybody who’s ever been the daughter of a mother will appreciate this book. There’s just no way to get around it!”

—Ntozake Shange, author of For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf

“A riotous and rascally novel … earthy and irresistible … sure to generate excitement … Castillo is simply dazzling, tossing off miracles, scathing social commentary, and smart-ass humor as easily and naturally as shaking water from a mane of wet hair.”

—Booklist
