CAPTIVATING!!!

This is one of the most interesting books that I have listen to dust far. I learned a lot from it and it also kept me interested.

Many times throughout this book I was literally on the edge of my seat. The narrator is excellent and the writing is excellent. I would recommend this book to anyone!

Second Time Around

I read this book many years ago. I cam across it again during some shuffling and loaded it to my audiobook. I enjoyed it even more. Really an enjoyable book.

Definite must listen

Not only was I impressed with how Tracy Price-Thompson's story transported you from the American South to Africa to Europe and back again but I was equally impressed with the narrators as well. They brought life and substance to each character. I was captured from beginning to end. It's a definite must listen.

Truley a great piece of work

I've read and listened to "A Woman's Worth" several times. Each time I hear or experience something new. The story follows the lives of three major characters. Their lives eventually become intertwined and climax to surprising ending. This book does not disappoint. I found my self visualizing current movie stars in roles of the characters in the book. Would make a great movie. Spoiler alert. Michael Ealey would be perfect for the role of the adult character of "Chicken". Chris Tucker as his best friend
