The Sharecropper's Daugher review by Marie Conner

The Sharecropper's daughter is a great book, loved it. Intriquing characters, simplified storyline, mild humor, interesting from start to finish. I enjoyed both books,  in which there are no story similarities yet both with impressive writing. I am looking forward to reading the next book Tina's Baptism. I am confident it will be just as great!!
 

The Sharecropper's Daughter review by Anthony Small

Based in the 1930s to the 1950s and mostly written from the young girl's perspective, The Sharecropper's Daughter introduces an interesting dynamic for what it was like for two families torn apart by the circumstances of the post slavery south.  The story touches on a mother-daughter relationship that is complicated yet never more than surface deep.  I found so much of it interesting that I can't decide on a favorite part but Theo's introduction into the story helped Frank Lee finally realize that she belonged somewhere and with someone.

The Sharecropper's Daughter review by Roxanne Durham

This is my favorite book.  I loved it!  I'm going to read it again.  Very good.  Thanks.  The best part to me was when Sissy took Frank Lee to school for the first time.  The barbershop part was funny too.

The Sharecropper's Daughter review by William Clarke

Very good book.  I knew it would be.  I enjoyed the Magic and the Mayhem as well.  This one is very different but so good.  My favorite part was when Theo's mother cussed Jimmy out of the kitchen.  Her's was the sadest character.

The Sharecropper's Daughter by Tia Jackson

I liked the book and story.  My favorite part was the old guy teaching Theo how to drink brandy.  I learned a lot about those times and how difficult it was for African Americans to find their place after slavery, especially when the family was broken.

The Sharecropper's Daughter review by Vivian Timmons

Awesome and captivating story, with twists and turns throughout; an Oprah must-read!  Told with compassion, humor, realism, and loads of dialect, of two kindred spirits, each on separate, tumultuous and rocky paths, coming together at just the right time.  Please say there will be a sequel!  Loved it! 

My favorite quote was: "You don't counts my money, and I won't count yours."  LOL!

The Sharecropper's Daughter review by Danielle M

I enjoyed The Sharecropper's Daughter.  The sharecropper in my family was my grandmother.  She was born in 1914 and told me about picking cotton on her father's share.  She said she could work all day and only make a few pennies.  My favorite character was Nanny because she was the type of person you did not have to guess about.  She was medicine lady and she could help you if you would allow her to.  

I enjoyed the easy reading.  I felt as if I was there. The story kept my interest and I could not stop reading.  The characters in the book had some very hard times but they stuck together as a family. People are still stuggling now.  I think they can learn something from this book.

The Sharecropper's Daughter review by Thomas Kennedy

I enjoyed the book. It's a fast read.  My favorite part was the barkershop, very funny.  My favorite character was Sissy because she was so sad and held a grudge for so long.  When her heart finally melted I knew she and Frank Lee would end up ok.  Good book.  Thanks.

The Sharecropper's Daughter review by Katrina Mayweather

I loved this book.  It has so many rich characters.  When Sula was speaking I could actually imagine what she sounded like.  I have a great aunt who called chicken's itty bitty's, maybe that's where it came from.  I loved the part when Theo's mother had had enough of Jimmy and when Theo learned about how to drink brandy.  Thank you, Julie.
