Review # 1 was written on 2014-06-07 00:00:00 Ronnie Hood Beautifully written, delightful story of a proud Creole family in Los Angeles. Really good wisdom, kids and all relatives are all over the place with their problems...Camille is the matriarch of this large family. A novel about family responsibility and the wonderful home grown wisdom of the mom...and her devotion to her God. (I love this; (one of Camille's prayers...) "Most sweet Jesus, in you I have confidence. May your Spirit penetrate my thoughts and desires, my words, and my works. Grant me to know you better, to love you more, to serve you without faltering. Spare me the hunger of the dead and the cruel indulgences of the living."

Review # 2 was written on 2008-07-10 00:00:00 Brett Byers I got it and read it because it was a story I thought would be fun to read since my family was one of many from (Southern) Louisiana who migrated to Los Angeles around the mid 20th century. There are a lot of recipes and proverbs (Haitian), places and sayings that are familiar to me from both Louisiana and Los Angeles. An alright story, exposing lots of issues I have with LA culture (ha! BOTH LAs...).
