In the Company of My Sisters (PB) (1997)

"Practical, hilarious, and common sense advice for self-care and self-recovery."--Common Boundary

Wise, intimate, and full of practical insights, In the Company of My Sisters is the first book by a Black psychotherapist to address the issue of self-esteem in Black women's lives. Julia A. Boyd has drawn from a wealth of experience--her own and that of her sister circle--to take a hard and honest look at the realities and issues Black women face. I wrote this book to validate and celebrate who we are, Boyd has said. We have been the recipients of many distorted messages about our ethnicity and our femaleness.
