This is an awesome book! As a educated African American female, suffering from obesity (sounds like a oxy-moron. This book spoke to me and helped me make a decision if I really wanted to do this or not. I am now waiting insurance approval for my gastric bypass surgery, and would recommend reading Darlene's journey. It was a quick read, which makes it great for those of us who are really busy.
