From Liberty to Magnolia: In Search of the American Dream by Janice S. EllisMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
From Liberty to Magnolia: In Search of the American Dream by Janice S. Ellis is the author's personal memoir of her life. As an African American woman in the time of the burgeoning civil rights movement, Ellis has a strong tale to tell. From her early days growing up on a farm in Mississippi to becoming a successful business woman, this is an inspirational tale that will inspire and motivate just about anyone. Having witnessed so many injustices, she strove to make the best of her situation, and endeavored to succeed and prosper in spite of the social climate of her past and even today. This is a thought provoking first hand account of what it was like to grow up in the south as a black female. Eye opening and entertaining at once, the level of detail the author provides is astounding. An enjoyable read that is highly recommended for something that will educate and expand your mind.
