What Ta-Ta’s Teach Us by Jane Jenkins Herlong

/ sandramervillehart

I expected this book to be about breast cancer.

It touches on the topic of cancer, but it is about so much more.

As girls mature into women, their bodies go through many changes. The author briefly talks about those changes and then offers words of wisdom for each change.

The book is also beautifully illustrated by Beth R. Clark.

Lighthearted and full of advice, this quick read is one that many women and girls would find benefits from reading.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, something that has touched many of us personally or through loved ones. That’s why I chose this month to review this book.

Bury Me with My Pearls by Jane Jenkins Herlong

/ sandramervillehart / 2 Comments

The full title to the book is Bury Me with My Pearls: Humor with a Spiritual Twist. This title does justice to the stories inside.

For stories from the author’s life burst from the pages. They are “laugh-out-loud” funny. I woke my husband up laughing over the author’s antics long after I should have turned off the lamp and gone to sleep.

Pearls are an image that is woven throughout these devotional thoughts written for women. Southerners will likely feel instant rapport with some of Herlong’s example though this girl with Southern roots had no problem understanding them either.

The author sprinkles plenty of wisdom within her stories. You will laugh. You may cry. You will be blessed.

Definitely recommend this book for women of all ages.
