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.

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.
With 60 percent of women working outside the home, two-career families have become the norm. This book explores the serious family problems that sometimes result. The first two-thirds, stridently written, is a litany of horrors in which men are almost always to blame. By the time the reader is halfway through, all feelings are numbed by the telling and retelling of domestic agonies. In the final one-third the tone changes dramatically as the author seeks solutions to the problems described earlier. She raises some thoughtful social and individual issues worth pondering by anyone with the stamina to reach this part of the book. Unfortunately, the book is a case of overkill that obscures an important issue facing the majority of American families today. John M. Haynes, Haynes Mediation Associates, New York
