BECOMING BERTHA: Not another advice book. Well sort of, but I bet you'll read this one all the way to the end and then frown when there are no more pages. I know I did. Self-reflection of our own lives can be at times a hard pill to swallow. Especially, if you try to take it while laughing at Bertha's antics. Jane Carroll can stand tall for she has mastered the putting all the 'maybes' aside. So, I thought until “Becoming Bertha” book 2 was released. Reading this BECOMING BERTHA from Jane Carroll she lets us see more of herself and through Bertha's eyes. Where book one gave us Bertha through Ms. Jane's eye. Both directions give the reader the information to revisit and ponder the why and way we all do things. I gave up black stockings after “Bertha-Size Your Life.” Now, after Becoming Bertha and the chapter 'The truth about casseroles' my friends and I eat dinner out, when we get together. Why chance it? A fun read with a hint of poignancy. Cynthia Dendy artwork brings Bertha to life...5 stars for her too.

I love Bertha! I read Jane Carroll's first book, Bertha-Size Your Life and loved it knowing that this author had lived an interesting life. Bertha was showing us the way---I'm looking forward to "Becoming Bertha" and lots more from this very talented author!
