5.0 out of 5 stars Definite page turner with lots of twists & turns, October 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Beyond Our Mothers Footsteps (Paperback)

Enjoyed the sequel a little bit better than the first book because it did not have as many characters to remember. Loved the way the author had all of the character's lives inter-related. The mothers of the main characters had such a tremendous affect on their lives. Could not put the book down - but still would like to know who is Lisa's FATHER!!!! Great book and the author has a talent of telling a story. Keep writing Breggie.

"preciousink" (Bronx, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beyond Our Mothers Footsteps (Paperback)

This books was absolutely interesting. There was some very interesting characters. I finished reading it in 24 hours. I always wanted to be a soror but never did. It made me laugh, cry, get mad and try to get even. I would recommend this to any and everyone that likes a good read.
