This review is from: From My Front Porch (Urban Soul Presents) (Paperback)

This book entails practical scenarios of living the dream from being a country girl to a city girl. Most important, it reflects the potential of being misguided or easily off track when experiecing something new. It's awesome and very suspensful in regard to wanting to read and never putting the book down...even if it means you only have three hours to sleep until you have to wake up for work!

5.0 out of 5 stars Review of From My Front Porch by Minnie Dix, August 19, 2000

By

This review is from: From My Front Porch (Paperback)

This book is a "can't put down". I found myself wondering what Rayann was up to. The words seem to inner into your soul and cause you to want more and more.The characters are believable and likeable. They seem to draw you into their lives as you read the pages. I gave the book 5 stars, I wish the rating had been higher. A must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Winner No Matter the Title!, November 9, 2009

This review is from: From My Front Porch (Urban Soul Presents) (Paperback)

Around 12 years ago, I had the honor and pleasure of meeting Leigh in Jessamine Mall now Sumter Mall where she was doing book signings for her book, "From My Front Porch." I begged my husband to lend me the money to buy the book. I am truly glad that I did. Not only did I have the honor of an autographed copy but I was privy to a well kept secret in the area. Leigh did such a marvelous job with her characters. I remember telling her that I would read the story and let her know what I thought about it. Now here we are in 2009 and her self published book has caught the attention of publishing company and the book is in two parts people. Can you believe that? I say buy the book. You won't be sorry you did. Leigh does a tremendous job of painting exactly how things are in Sumter, South Carolina. She gives insight into how families are. No family is perfect and they all have their problems. You find yourself cheering for the heroine, Rayann and wanting to shoot Ralph to wanting to beat the tar out of Dorien. I give her books 2 thumbs up.
