The Women of Brewster Place is a true reflection of black females trying to survive a world that don’t care much for them. Very sad. And also how a black females best ally, but also the enemy, are other black females. The story was interesting, but it jumps around a lot between scenes, time, and people, which I did not like. It would have been nice to get the complete story instead of filling in the gaps myself. And there are a lot of characters to keep track of. At times, I was lost. I remember seeing and enjoying the movie decades ago. Overall, a good short story.

Women will relate to many of the characters' stories - romantic relationships, family, & hardships. Each story is (separated by chapter) is short (easy to read before bed or in between tasks) but still riveting. Also, Gaynor's writing is beautifully poetic.
