    The Delany Sisters Empty The Delany Sisters

    Has anybody read either of the books by the Delany Sisters, Sadie and Bessie who lived to be 105 and 108?

    There's Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 100 Years, and the Delany Sisters' Book of Everyday Wisdom. Then after Bessie died, Sadie did a solo book called On My Own at 107, and I recommend all three of them, they're great reading.

    I own Having Our Say, and loved it! I haven't read it in a few years. Time to get it out again. I did not know that there were others. I would love to re-read Having Our Say, then following with Sadie's solo book. I bet that it is a great read.
