IN THE PRESS
“
Vestiges of Me presents the reader with a series of vivid memories—of growing up and of loved
ones past and present. In this beautifully written series of recollections the author’s love and
enthusiasm is contagious. She walks us through key events and introduces us to significant
others in a way that is delightful to read – and uplifting.
I found myself smiling throughout, particularly as she reveals her perspectives on the many
roles of womanhood, all of which are positive.
“
Any woman, and any man who cares about the lives of women, will be happy that the author
found her voice. Even though, as she says, some people “wanted me to disappear, liked me
better when I didn’t speak.” Toni speaks and writes movingly about being a mother AND being
an individual, about her own mother “the woman
who could conquer anything.”
This is a book I felt I could almost touch, a textured book, which touched ME deeply as a reader,
a woman and a writer.
