Very rarely do we open our souls to strangers,but Mrs. Parker has done it and done it beautifully. As a Black man who has livied his entire lifein the Black Community, I can relate to what Mrs. Parker speaks about in her book. Her comments about our Welfare System are right on the money, it makes people LAZY! Sometimes we as Black folk hate when we are confronted with the truth,but while reading this book I'm sure a lot of readers will recognize a lot of people. Like we like to say,"Don't hate the player, hate the game." in other words we all make dumb mistakes. And most of them are made when we're young. I recommend this book highly, especially for young women who think Welfare is the subsitute for your childs father. After trying everything the Devil had to offer, Mrs. Parker found out that Our Lord Jesus Christ is the true ANSWER! To my young sisters buy this book and read it carefully and openly, to my young brothers. Take care of what you lay down and concieve. Remember children do not ask to come here! God Bless you and your's Mrs. Parker.

I had the privalege of seeing Star Parker speak and then meet her at the Young America's Freedom Conference in San Diego. Her speech, much like her book, was awe-inspiring and wonderful as she tells of her dependancy on the government to living the American dream with house, family, business and God. This book shows what needs to happen in America, yet also warns conservatives of what we need to do to prosper. A must read for any American.

Star Parker is a invigorating paragon of the conservative movement. Her spirit shows in her wonderful book. She not only gave an account of her welfare life but many of her friends, and it became obvious to me how the system has failed for many years now. She also mentioned the way liberals have only helped the welfare problem by handing out money, decreasing the insentive of people to work. She is a sole believer that we are all Americans regardless of race and should be treated that way. Racism has gone both ways and needs to be stopped. Her ideas are so simple regarding race problems, welfare, etc. I definitely recommend this book not only to learn a bit more about the welfare system but to be reinvigorated in the conservative movement.

As a Black Conservative successful businessman living in Southern California, I applaud Star Parker's book. We as African Americans can no longer look to the government(and/or Democrats) as our savior. As long as there are laws that protect us from being falsely jailed and/or lynched. We can (and should) compete to attain our life goals in this country regardless of the obsticles. Black America needs to wake up and stop blaming the "Man for keeping us down". As for myself, I am not, and will not, be treated or perceived as a victim. I am where I am today because of parents who cared enough to: 1. stay together 2. sacrifice so that I would have better opportunities 3. instill in me morals and values 4. discipline me to keep me on the right track 5. Teach me about the contributions of my ancestors, George Washington Carver, Harriet Tubman, etc. Kudos to Star Parker and others like her out there in the burgeoning Black Middle Class. A neglected, under served segment (by the Media) of the Black Community that is looking for a political party that refects its views and values. Hey Republicans, get a clue!! Sincerely, L. Poindexter Southern California

The only people that wouldn't like this book. are the liberals who can't handle the truth or it coming out. I applaud Starr's effort for exposing the liberal democrats REAL agenda for blacks in this country. Government induced poverty, control and dependance. As a conservative black male, what she writes isn't ground breaking. It did however 100% validate what I knew as being true! If you haven't been exposed to the truth, then for you it WILL be ground breaking!!

Ms. Parker's story is a true eye-opener, exposing the tragic consequences of misplaced American compassion whereby people are given fish rather than taught to fish, creating hopeless dependency rather than joyful self-suffiency. This should be required reading.

In this book, Star Parker tells how she lived it up while she was on welfare. She had an apartment with a jacuzzi, lived in southern california, went partying every night, got abortions whenever she became pregnant, all at government's expense. Yet she was transformed by a minister. She got off the welfare rolls, raised her children in a wholesome manner, and started her own business. It was a difficult path to take, but she managed to be sucessful. The latter part of the book is full of fascinating political commentary that dispels the myth that if you're a black women you have to be a liberal democrat. A fascinating read

Star's book is a wonderful example of what happens when people finally start adhering to the objective moral order. There are things in this book that the let's pretend lewd left don't want you to know. The major thing being that you do better when you do for yourself. I think that the reviewers who put down Ms. Parker are suffering from a severe case of guilty conscience.

If God directs your life, this book will read like pure refreshment. If you prefer to make God in your image, some wimpy cosmic do-gooder that approves of your every action, you'll hate this book. Not more complicated than that.

Wow! What a book!

First, I couldn't put it down.

It is a well-written account of a black woman who has found POWER for herself and her family and her future, and is willing to tell us all the recipe. Her language, her thoughtfulness, and her passion all combine to make this book a great read.

A times in the story, the hairs raised on the back of my neck, because the book so perfectly stated things I've been thinking for so long.

An excellent book for young Christian blacks. You will be as excited as I was. This is an excellent book for anyone to read. Let's pull ourselves together.
