I read the book This Bridge Called My Back several years ago. It is an anthology written by women of color. The book tells their stories in essays and poems which are beautiful and show a depth of wisdom that is not always seen

I love that book...

[imafarmgirl]

Me too. Someone told me there is a follow up book but if there is I haven't seen or read it.

[sandokai]

I have it and it isn't nearly as good...it's hard to explain why since I didn't read much of the follow-up book since it wasn't as good.

Thanks for letting me know.

I think all the different "isms" have a lot in common.

Also, this post is friends=locked. You probably want to unlock it so people can read it and vote for you.

Yes the isms have a lot in common. I unlocked it now I think.

It's definitely worth the read.

Thanks. Getting people to want to read the book is just a bonus of writing this entry!
