"Excellent. I think Robin Mero gave me this book. It's an eye-opener to what life is like for the family who has had generations of poverty. Millions live this way. Another one of the "Thank God I wasn't born into that situation!""
"This author spent years studying Rosa Lee and her family. It gives a great insight into the reasons for poverty, crime and sins. It looks at genealogical roots of the problems. It is a compassionate and stunning, often very troubling, book."
