A Lyrical Ode to the Past
The Best That You Can Do is a collection of intergenerational, multi-ethnic narratives that underscore the importance of family and community. Many of the stories are interwoven and the language in each one is poetic. Dr. Gautier is a wordsmith, capturing the emotions, passions, and perseverance of her characters. Reading the collection is like taking a step back in time to reminisce on childhood, the neighborhood you grew up in, and the people and places that shaped your life. A beautiful read that's hard to put down!

Stories that hit the heart
These very short stories, sometimes linked by characters, other times by theme, are full of emotion. I read a story before bed every night (except the times when, like eating chips, I couldn't stop reading.) Wonderful book.
