Book Reviews of Vision of Beauty: The Story of Sarah Breedlove Walker
Book Review: Woman of Vision
Summary: 5 Stars
The pictures are beautiful. The story thoughtfully written. More importantly, the book's message of hope, hard work, and loyalty comes through loud and clear. As a business woman, Sarah (Madame CC) was not only supportive to her sisters "of color" she was loyal to the community in which she lived. We all have "brothers and sisters" we can reach out to and help. It's a message needed in today's world.
