Dream come true

This was a great book that makes you believe dreams do come true. Africa was a hard worker that everyone loved. She took what was given and made it happen. This book makes you think about how you treat other because you will never know who is watching. She met the man that swepted her off her feet. It was a modren day fairly tale. People that emjoy romantic books should read it.

Great Book

I was in the Westfield Shopping Center ...s. I was in luck, Evelyn stopped me and told me I should read this book. At first I was reluctant to purchase it. I really did not have enough money for it. A man who claimed he did not have time to read novels said, "I'm going to support you and buy it for her," pointing to me. He bought it for me and that night I couldn't put it down. It was a wonderful book with surprising twists and turns. I hope there will be a sequel.

Precious,loving story

GET THE SHOW ON THE ROADis indeed a delightful story. I was browsing in a local community bookstore last month and saw the book.At first, I was not sure as to wheter I should purchase it.But it kept calling me. Thank God I purchased it and completed it in two days.It has a wonderful simple story line but yet one that is so reaffirming.Quite refeeshing to read books that depict African Americans as we really are.Its a love story, its a family story and hope the author will continue to write stories that tell our truths.Such an uplifting story line.I have shared to date this book with three co-workers.Keep up the good work! We need your voice in print.

Standing ovation for the Author

I really liked and enjoyed this book. I could not put it down. I finished it in a day and a half. I enjoyed the courage of all the characters. It was well written and easy to relate to. It displayed how people more or less judge "a book by it's cover". We are often judge people by anything but their character. To the Author, whom I had the pleasure of meeting, keep up the good work.

LOVING, FANTASTIC BOOK!!!!

"Get the Show on the Road" is a poignant, passionate love story. It tells of the lives of two people from different walks of life--the haves and the have-nots. It tells of the ups and downs of their relationship, which is filled with sweetness (so sweet), anger, misunderstanding, hatred, surprises, jealousy, near tragedy, and fulfillment. You must read this book. I read it twice back-to-back. I applaud the author and hope she writes another soon.
