"Sandra Evers-Manly ... draws on the rich exchange between Mama Doris Manly and her children and the examples of love and life Mrs. Manly used as a foundation to raise them. Mrs. Doris Manly raised her children by one letter - the letter "L." Not only did she teach her children using a diversity of words that began with the letter "L," but she shared that same practice with everyone she touched throughout her life; the importance of lifting others up and not tearing them down, being a leader, living life to the fullest, leaving a legacy and most importantly, finding time to laugh."--Amazon.com
