This is the true story of the life of a girl in a small Southern town and her struggles with the adversity in her life and how she overcomes that adversity. From her childhood with an alcoholic Mother and cold Step-father, her story illustrates the lengths a person will go to to survive and be liked by her friends. Hiding her depression at her situation, she puts on a brave face to be liked. Therefore, THEY WON"T LOVE YOU IF YOU CRY is a moving story as the reader readily identifies with the loneliness in Geri's early life, her overcoming depression in a mental hospital, and finally becoming a "whole person." She marries, has children, and finally, in a cathartic experience, tells her story by writing this book. Highly recommended.They Wont Love You If You Cry
Well Loved Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
As the author of THEY WON'T LOVE YOU IF YOU CRY, I have been blessed by the readers. This book was published in 1989 and it is still being read and still on the shelf in libraries in the US, Canada and England. Recently a book store called me and asked if I would like to have a book that was returned to them by an elderly lady. She said that her entire housing project of 300 had read her book and the book didn't hold up. Would they please give her a new book. They did. And I have the much loved, and read to death copy. That's the best review I know. Geri Ellzey Craig
