"There is so much I could say about the PORTIA Story, a book about the value African Americans hold for family, a book about women's health and one woman's fight against breast cancer. Most of all I wanted to read more-more-more. I wanted to keep reading about Portia. I definitely plan to read this book about African Americans in Portia's family again."

Sarah, Mother and Book Lover

"I read PORTIA in one sitting. Although it's about a woman battling breast cancer who is surrounding by the love and kinship of African Americans, I saw my own family and women's health issues in this book. My mother is as tough and unrelenting as is Portia's mother."

Cathy, Painter and Sculptor

"I like the way you deal with breast cancer and womens health issues amongst African Americans in PORTIA. I like how you focus on where Portia fights breast cancer and gains the strength to live. So many books focus on the problem, the loss or the illness. I like how you don't do that. The further I read into PORTIA and about womens health issues like breast cancer, the more I like PORTIA."

Elise Daniels, Retired Police Officer

"Denise Turney, after going through an abusive relationship myself, I cannot tell you how glad I was to read that Portia learned how to love herself and stop letting her boyfriend mistreat her. It took me years to leave my boyfriend. He was so mean! He treated me so badly. To this day, I don't know why I stayed so long. It does my heart good every time I hear a story about a woman who decides to stop the abuse by letting the relationship end."
