Brenda Shelton

This is the BEST TV FAMILY DRAMA since I'l fly Away--the acting is superb, the story lines beautiful and love filled, reveals all the complexities of a family's life, and then some-due to the extra rich and soulfal/moral dimensions of race and identity, and addiction, especially the overnight character daughter--I must say I had never loved a fat person until now--didn't really know I had a prejudice against fat people until I realized that I did--and I'm sure other people can say the same thing about prejudices against blacks-the show reveals the heartfelt humanity and capability of compassion and understanding, and acceptance of ordinary human flaws, but no tolerance for hateful, meanness of spirit. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS IS US!!
