"This book is about succeeding—and surviving—even being happy, in a society where every card seems stacked against you. If this is a fair world, Bebe Moore Campbell will be remembered as the most important African-American novelist of this century—except for, maybe, Ralph Ellison and James Baldwin."—Carolyn See, Washington Post Book Review

Bebe Moore Campbell was a bestselling author and a journalist. Her nonfiction work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Ms., Essence, Black Enterprise, Ebony, Working Mother, USA Weekend, and Adweek, among other publications. She was a regular contributor to National Public Radio.
Bebe Moore Campbell was the author of such national, critically acclaimed bestsellers as Brothers and Sisters, Singing in the Comeback Choir, Your Blues Ain't Like Mine, and What You Owe Me as well as the award-winning children’s book, Sometimes My Mommy Gets Angry and the recently published Stompin’ at the Savoy.
Campbell was born and grew up in Philadelphia and graduated from the University of Pittsburgh, where she earned a bachelor of science degree in elementary education. She taught elementary and middle school for five years. She is survived by her husband, Ellis Gordon, Jr., her daughter, the actress Maia Campbell, and a son, Ellis Gordon III.
Are we all brothers and sisters under the skin? Esther Jackson, a black manager in a Los Angeles bank, confronts this question when she's the main witness to an incident of sexual harassment. Choices about friendship and race become an issue in her personal life as well. Campbell's strength is her ability to portray characters--black, white, Latino and Asian from different economic levels--sympathetically, although another narrator might have been more adept at differentiating the characters. However, her voice reflects deep involvement with the story and overcomes this minor flaw. T.R.s our own spirits. B.H.B. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
