I have never cried over a cookbook before.

Gini,

Before I opened this thread, I KNEW what book you were talking about. My mom bought this for me this weekend and I can't wait to sit and read the whole thing.

Maya is one of my most favorite people on earth. You know that question on who would you meet if you could me anyone? My answer would be her. I've read all her books, have almost all of her Hallmark stuff and got to see her in person last year as a participant of a Distinguished Speaker series. She was and is the most amazing person.

The cookbook is beautiful. I'm so glad you passed this along to others who may not know her.

I bought this book a few weeks back....$45 CDN yikes!!!!

Have been browsing through it and read that Caramel Cake story. A real tear-jerker.

We are having a pot-luck Christmas lunch at work on Wednesday and am thinking about making the Onion Tart to take along.

I highly recommend this book and will be buying another copy to give to my boss for Christmas.

Slick, I knew you would love it.

How did books become so expensive? They used to be $10.95 - then $15.95 - then $19.95. Now it is up to $29.95.

I got it through Barnes and Noble with my membership and an additional coupon.

I hope everyone goes into a book store to take a peek at it, even if you can't afford to buy it.

I, too, had the honour of hearing her speak, at my college many moons ago. I will look to purchase the book the next time I am at my favorite booksellers! Joseph-Beth Booksellers.

Sounds VERY interesting! I hope it is available here in Belgium... ? as I have never heard about her before....

My knowledge of Maya Angelou was her involvement in Bill Clinton's inauguration...didn't she read a poem she had written?

Anyway, I love cookbooks, have way too many, and must have more!! I'll have to check that one out!

Gini, I wanted to tell you that after I read this thread, yesterday (I totally missed it when you posted it), I thought I'd check into this book and perhaps get a copy for my mother for part of her Christmas gift. Amazon.com has it on sale for $17.97, and if you buy $25 worth of merchandise, you can get free shipping too. And it was a new, hardback not one of the used copies. Just thought I'd pass this along. I sort of wish I had gotten one for myself too!

Thanks for the tip!
