Excellent Read

You've got to read Ida Mae and then go out and buy Babe, the author's next book. Ida Mae takes you through the mountains and valleys of decades of a woman's life. There is no fakeness about this book. Ida Mae sounds like a real woman that you'd enjoy knowing. I can't reccomend the book enough. I'd give it six stars if I could.

Ida Mae

Delores Thompson has created a masterpiece. The two Ida Mae books are wonderful. The characters leaped off the pages and into your heart. I'm hoping there will be a third Ida Mae book.

The author keeps you in awe and desperate to finish so as to get your hands on her continuing book, "Ida Mae, The Saga Continues", to learn the outcome of Ida Mae's life. This was one strong woman!

The Strong Shall Survive

Ida Mae is not your ordinary read. The author has taken the time to give a caring indepth look into the soul of Ida Mae. Although the setting is in the 1950's....it speaks to the inner strenghth of today's women who, though no decision of their own, march to the beat of different drummers. You are completely engrossed in Ida Mae's life and want to know what is next for this young woman. Fortunately the author has decided to write a sequel so that we may vicariously see what further rewards await Ida Mae. A good read and only a beginning for Delores Thornton. Ida Mae translates into strength and survival and the will to forge your own path.
