  "Good Discussion Book but not a must read" by Wits-End (see profile) 03/23/06

Sins of my mother had a solid storyline and messages about how parent’s history can affect their children and with God all things are possible. The characters in the book are developed were you know each one’s sins that they got from their mother. The characters do not come a live on the pages. The book has a lot of issues to discuss which makes it a good book club book. The book is not a must read but it is a quick read.

  "EXCELLENT! GOD-SEND! THOUGHT PROVOKING" by tiiwan (see profile) 04/13/06

I thought that this book was a phenomenal piece of literary work. It truly delved into the psychological, emotional, and physical bonds that can tear families apart. Through the dynamic of self revelation, the main character is forced to peel away all of the layers of "junk" that have held her back for her whole life. I was able to relate to many of the characters by putting myself in their place or having met them at some point in my life. I was truly blessed by this book. My book club read it and we all agreed that it was a "must have" in our libraries. I just hope that everyone who picks up this book is as blessed as I was. We all know that God is real but it's not until we "let go and let Him do what He does best" do we truly become free. I was able to face some of my own issues and I know that men and women everywhere will benefit from reading this. Thank you Terri for being a blessing to my spirit through the power of your pen!

 
  "READING THAT TOUCHES THE HEART AND MIND" by cabnjnwk (see profile) 04/13/06

This book touched home. I found myself, family members, and friends in every character. The main character Angelea was the one character that mostly related to me. Being that cornerstone for faimly and friends was something that was expected and not desired of me. Reading the process that Angelea went through helped me to know that there was a way out. Thank you Terri for writing this book. Writing "Sins of My Mother" helped me move on and not staying stuck in misery because of someone else's expectations. I can't wait to read your next novel. Stay strong, vocal, and true to yourself and God.

A reader of yours for LIFE

  "Inner City Insight" by chosen1 (see profile) 04/13/06

I highly recommend this book because of the insight that it gave me, as a suburbanite. I really did not understand the depth of pain that people experience in the inner city. People are quick to point their finger at those that live in the inner city because of the significant amount of crime. What people are not willing to look at, is the reason why crime is so prevalent. This book helped me to not only see what was going on in the inner city, but it also gave me a desire to work with children in the inner city. Thanks Ms. Salter for writing a book that educates those of us who were not raised in the inner city!

 
  "HEALING FOR THE SOUL!!" by lattarain (see profile) 04/14/06

Wow!! I never knew a book could be so intense. "Sins of My Mother" will have you laughing, crying, thinking etc; etc. When I read this book it made me take a long hard look at my life and I realized how dysfunctional my family WAS!! I say was because God is healing me and I know that it is going to spread throughout my family. Mrs Terri Jones Salter thank you for being Gods mouth piece in such a times as this. Thank you for bringing so many issues to the light and letting us see there is hope & that we can experience true healing through the power of God!! Bless you.

 
  "To me the book is great as it deals with real life situations that not too many people like to talk or write about. I love how the story flows and ties it together with our christian believes." by maddy (see profile) 04/24/06

Highly recommend for everyone to read at least once.

 
  "Awesome. A definite attention grasper for adolescents through adulthood." by mrsdavis (see profile) 04/25/06

Our teen lift program picked this book for our March book club month and they truly enjoyed the characters. The teens are looking forward to the continuation of this story in book 2.

 
  "Sins of my Mother heals soul wounds page by page..." by nfa (see profile) 08/27/06

Sins of my Mother touched me on so many different levels. In many of our families we ignore the "elephants" - life's painful events that we would rather pack away and keep a secret than deal with head-on. That is, until all of the layers of pain tear away at the fabric our families and we are left with complete dysfunction. Sins of my Mother is a book that opens up the much needed "space" for healthy dialogue in our families. The readers' "aha" moment doesn't happen at the end like most books; Sins of my Mother heals soul wounds page by page. Thank you Ms. Salter ~ NFA

 
  "Trying to hard to sell the message" by gochiefs (see profile) 12/02/07

The writing is a bit weak. Did not hold my attention. The author works hard to paint a bleak life for the protagonist so that she can find help in God. It came off fake (and I'm a devout Christian.)
