A Real Good Woman

"A Real Good Woman" is the aubiography of Sheba Makeda, The Mississippi Queen. Born in 1953, her life began in the cotton fields of Mississippi. The book takes the reader on a journey from there and then, to her current life as a performing and recording artist. She is also studying to become a licensed spiritual teacher.Sheba's rich story covers black history and culture in the South, her life onstage and in the studio singing the blues, and her time in Atlanta and New York City as a "working girl.""TRUTH. Seldom do we receive the whole truth when we read bios; they seem to leave out the parts that created the writers' hearts. If you want the truth on how the blues enters a soul, read 'A Real Good Woman, ' the story of the birth of the blues in the heart and soul of a real good woman."-- Rev. Prentiss John Davis, Unity of Ocala"Raw, honest, heart-breaking. Here is an open and honest account of the struggles of an African-American woman and what she went through to escape the cotton fields of Sunflower, Mississippi in the '60s to become the spiritual woman she is today. The book is to inspire others to overcome and know they, too, can survive and find peace and happiness if they look within to the I AM of self."--Shirley Long, Unity of Ocala, Administrative Assistant to Senior Minister
