Another View flips through the pages and cozies up with Benilde Little’s Who Does She Think She Is and Bebe Moore Campbell’s 72 Hour Hold.

Bestselling author Benilde Little shares why she felt compelled to write Who Does She Think She Is. The book is a multigenerational story of three women grappling with family, love and themselves. Set in New York City and Newark, New Jersey, in alternating chapters readers get the rich past and present of each woman. Little shares how her own personal life shaped the book and its characters.

Bebe Moore Campbell discusses her book 72 Hour Hold. The book tells the story of a woman whose world is shattered when her child develops a mental illness. After becoming fed up with the bureaucracy of the mental health community, she goes beyond the law to save her daughter by any means necessary. Campbell explains why she chose this taboo subject to write about.
