Sittin' Around Bein' Brown

Lula Ballton makes us all wish we'd experienced our own Wamda (a rite of passage for women) where the rules of successful woman-ness and womanhood are passed from generation to generation by short stories. The circle of women from all generations seeks to pass on lessons learned and family hope. In this collection Lula engages us to see, taste, smell and emotionally respond to the life stories told at her Wamda that provoked examination, reflection and preparation for better-'when you know better you can do better'. 'Ballton takes us on a journey through our lives and around our family trees as she writes from her authentic soul.'-Dr. Linda Hollies, editor of Sister to Sister, Volume II. Warm, engaging, thought provoking, and just plain fun. Find your mother, sister, aunt, daughter and see yourself in the round, perhaps even as you are 'sittin' around bein¿ brown.'
