"A fantastic update of Pygmalion and hip Americanization of My Fair Lady by the best-selling author of The Hatwearer's Lesson, Joe's compelling tale about one woman's coming into her own and the dichotomy between educated African Americans and those living in poverty may well become a popular classic in its own right."

The Hatwearer's Lesson

"For author Yolanda Joe, writing from the heart about the soul is what makes a good story great. The Hatwearer's Lesson is a heartwarming and inspirational novel that tells the story of one woman's loving relationship with her maternal grandmother... The Hatwearer's Lesson is perhaps [Yolanda Joe's] most compassionate book so far. Joe has developed an uncanny knack for weaving realism with slight exaggeration. This concept works well and ultimately makes for entertaining, yet thought-provoking reading."
