A Powerful Story of How to Successfully Heal from Rejection. A MUST READ!
It has been a long time since I read a book that I didn’t want to put down. Mama Didn’t Raise This Woman did just that. The way the book is written, you feel like you’re a part of the journey not just reading about the journey. Njeri masterfully invites her readers into her truth and trusts us with it as we laugh, cry, and get angry right along with her. If you don’t know Njeri and Team Maldonado personally you’ll feel like you do once you’re done. (I’m trying to figure out how I can meet Dad and Tootie in person!) She tackles a topic that is almost never discussed, absentee mothers, in such a vulnerable and transparent manner that you can’t help but be proud of her. This is a must read for anyone who’s ever experienced rejection and needs inspiration for how to heal and succeed inspire of it all.
Don't miss out on this awesome read!!!
WOWZA!!! This amazing piece of work was SO well written! I LOVED the title of each chapter, my eyes ENJOYED the font size, the weight of the paper allowed me to turn each page with EASE and the FLOW from chapter to chapter was out of this world. This was such an easy read and I didn't want to put the book down. In my older years, I haven't read books often and the times that I have, it was rough. I didn't understand what was going on and had to re-read paragraphs or sentences several times to "get it". No problem like that here!!! Even if I stopped mid-chapter, I was able to pick up the next sentence as if I never stopped. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. I'm sure your testimony will help others who are currently or have struggled in the past with cases similar to yours. We appreciate you!!!
Respectable, Beautiful, Life.
I gladly walked along this journey with a Njeri. This trail was a page turner and so recognizable. I appreciate her honest openness as a member of this tribe. We are still, women, regardless. Thank you Njeri! Fantastic life synopsis! Here’s to your 40 and mine coming up!
A heart-breaking and heart-warming tale
If you have had mother issues, read this book. If you haven’t had mother issues, read this book. We can all learn something from this very personal story of an accomplished young lady. Once again it proves the old adage that you never know what others may be going through so don’t make assumptions. Congratulations to this beautiful author for being brave enough to share her life.

Great Book...finished it in 2 days!
This book was recommended by a Soror whom thought I might be related to the author. I enjoyed the read. NOLA BORN Maldonado.
Outstanding book. Very Inspirational.
I enjoyed this book a lot. It took me one week to finish the book. It was very courageous of Njeri to share her story with the public. She didn't let what she has been through in her life stop her from achieving her personal and professional goals (becoming a Lawyer & a Judge). Reading this book inspires me to write my own book. One day I will write my own book. Very Inspirational. Outstanding book.
A Page-turner on dealing with Adversity!
What a page-turner! Very well written and relatable even of your mom did raise you. This book touches upon topics that so many have faced. I found it to be truly cathartic and highly recommend it if you're looking for a real story of dealing with adversity!
You won’t want to put it down.
Beautifully written. Njeri is a visual story teller. She is truly amazing for sharing her truth and her story. It’s touching and poignant. Thank you for sharing your life story.
Best Book I've Read in a While
This book was a page turner for me. The author writes her experience so raw and authentic. You end up feeling like you know the characters in her life at the end of the book. It's an inspirational story of perseverance in the face of serious challenge for a young woman growing up.
Brave, honest, inspiring...
What a brave, honest, and inspiring story. This book was easy to read, yet powerfully delivered! Thank you Njeri, for sharing your life, from the struggles and pain to the triumph and joy. This is a great read!
