Emma L. Hill "Positive Minds Book Club" (Macon, GA)
This Book was absolutely great. It was well written, and loaded with information. The descriptions of the places made the reader think they were actually there, and the details of each character made the reader know them individually. Alberta Graham is a wonderful character, who represents so may people who had to endure racism. Colored Waiting Room was captivating, explosive, enchanting, fascinating, and courageous.

Riveting! Sometimes a story comes along that grabs you by the heart and doesn't let go until it has taken you on a roller coaster ride of emotions. Colored Waiting Room is a compelling story of intrigue and the darkness that resides within the souls of people who look normal and unfortunately make Alberta's life hell. We want Alberta to *make* it. But I won't give away the plot... You'll want to savor that yourself. Don't bypass this page turning gem!

I love this book. The author has a great ability to make you feel like you know the main characters...as if you grew up with them from childhood. Her ability to make the characters vivid and relatable is uncanny. At the end, the author addresses an issue that most Black people must face at some point in their lives. I wish she had delved into that more...maybe an additional chapter or two. I'm very interested in how she would have concluded that issue. This was a good effort for her first book. I'm sure her next book will have tighter...more cohesive chapters...and address fewer concepts or situations so that the reader can stay focused on a few situations with each character. But overall, this book was pretty good. I love it. It's a nice easy read.

Travel with her as she takes you on this perilous journey into the... COLORED WAITING ROOM. The Very Best to you Patricia! This is a Winner!

"Well Patricia, I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed your book. It captured in detail the attitude of the era, as it related to those of "color" and particularly females and even further, black females. I found the reading to be very easy to follow. The imagery in wording kept this reader entertained throughout the book. I so wanted Alberta and her life long friend, Reggi, to connect in a romantic way."
