Love Ellen A Mother/Daughter Journey eBook Betty DeGeneres Reviews

• I found this book very interesting and educational. It's not a page turner or my normal kind of book, but something drew me to read this book and I'm glad that I did. I try to keep an open mind for an old baby boomer and this book and Betty taught me a lot. It goes to show that you are never too old to learn and understand.
• Very well written. Honest, humorous, poignant, thought provoking. This book is the full meal deal. As the step mom to a gay daughter I really appreciate your work. People need to understand they are still the same son/daughter/friend you have loved, just people's perception of them has changed. Your journey with Ellen is heart warming. (She is the greatest!!!) Highly recommend this book to everyone.
• Betty DeGeneres is candid about having to adjust to her daughter's coming out as gay, in this easy-to-read, revealing memoir. Once she gets used to the idea, it would be an understatement to say that she became one of the most supportive moms ever. Her activism in LGBT rights is now well-known, but this book takes you back to a time when it was not easy for her to openly discuss the subject, much less accept that her own child was gay. Betty's unconditional love and support for her daughter, as well as her efforts in educating others who are going through this issue are an inspiration.
• An excellent book by Ellen's Mom describing the beautiful love that exists between a Mother and her two children. Betty is a human being to emulate as she is an example of us all how to be a true Christian in every sense of the word. She has, I have no doubt, influenced hundreds, if not thousands, of people as she has proceeded to advocate for the entire LGBT community. Her work with the Human Rights Campaign has been nothing short of heroic. The mere fact that she has helped so many youngsters (and their families) be able to accept them as they are is nothing short of doing God's work. I applaud her as a Mother and for wrestling against her own personal demons and coming out on top in the end!!
• This book should be read by people who do not understand homosexuality.
  Yes, when I was in Catholic elementary school, I was afraid of homosexuals that's what I was thought. Nevertheless, when I grew up and went to college I changed mi mind. After all, I realized that we are all creatures of God. Most important at all is the fact that homosexuals are no made, they are born that way.
• I absolutely loved this book. I've recommended it to others. I actually learned a lot and I hope it will help me be a better Mom, grandmother and great grandmother to our children. The books moves along very quickly and I found myself picking it up several times during the day as I was always anxious to see what was going to happen next. I never thought I could be an activist for anything but I realize if you are passionate about something you can do something and every little bit helps. Betty, thank you for such a well written book.
• As the mother of a gay son I was drawn to this book. Ellen is a beautiful and tremendously gifted and generous person. I wanted to learn more about how other parents feel and develop their relationship when they learn this about their children. Surprise they do not feel any different! Like all parents she only wished for Ellen to find and share love in her life. Despite setbacks in her own life she strives to continue to be loving and open with others. Thank you Betty for sharing.
• Happy to have read this book and gained a little more insight into the woman who mothered a legend, Ellen Degeneres. What a truly eye opening account of a mothers struggles and acceptance in having a gay daughter.
