Summary
If you can count on one thing from "Madea" Mabel Simmons, star of the smash hits Diary of a Mad Black Woman and Madea's Family Reunion, it's that she's got something to say. For as long as people can remember, Madea has been in the neighborhood - she's the beloved, hilarious, sharp-witted, pistol-packing grandmother who's watching out and speaking her mind.
Now Madea is telling her own story, dishing her memoirs and hard-won, hilarious wisdom in her own inimitable voice (with a little help from her friend Tyler Perry). Madea covers every topic you want to hear her on, from the art of flirting, to love and marriage (sometimes two very separate topics), and raising kids (including the full story on the bag o' belts).
She also opines on beauty tips (featuring her indispensable advice on the miraculous benefits of Vasoline), the healthy choice of a deep-fried diet, and the Bible (including her favorite Bible story, as you have definitely never heard it before) - and pretty much everything else.
Madea has lived quite a life, and she has some stories to tell. And they're all here. As she's fond of saying, "Sometimes life is hard, and you have to laugh your way through it."

I loved this, it's my second time listening to it and I'm sure it wouldn't be the last. I'll be coming back again for another listen.

Praise the Lordt!
Thank you Madea for being the truth and telling us what we are too afraid to say out loud but know deep down in our souls!
If you are looking for a book that will change your state, make you laugh, cry and take action.
Tyler Perry brings his genius to action with this straight talking book, straight from the mind of Madea. Madea is not perfect by any standard, but what she is always true to her authentic self, we could all learn a little something from Madea.
STAY TRUE TO YOU! BE AUTHENTIC!

Laughs & life lessons
Medea reminded me of my past monarchs of the family & values we share, along with wisdom passed on - I miss my elders but since I found Madea I was in a bad place grieving for those souls that have past but she made me laugh like the most in 3 years. I want to thank Tyler Perry for helping me through some of the toughest parts of Complex PTSD/Grief. Keep madea going she’s more than just a few laughs; she’s a light in the days I find hard, just stick her on & I feel at home.
Must read God bless
