Book Review: Stand by Me by Neta Jackson



Stand by Me by Neta Jackson

I was a little caught off guard with this book. I really wasn't expecting to enjoy the characters as much as I did. I've read a lot of reviews about Neta Jackson and her Yada Yada Prayer Group series. I haven't read any of those but after reading this and the way she is so detailed with her characters and their interaction with each other, I'm going to look into that series.

Kathryn is a white woman who after finding herself with many problems left med school and found religion by going to a Christian school. She meets a very successful black woman by the name of Avis who judges Kathryn without knowing her first, as I'm sure we all can relate to.. I know I can. Throughout the book you read about the struggles these women go through in life and family and how their paths cross and how they deal with these things to become better women, better people.

 It really makes you think about yourself as a person and what you can do to improve yourself as not only a woman, in my case, but also as human being.

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through Booksneeze Blogger Review Program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
