On Paperback May 5, 2009- CSI: NY’s Hill Harpers second book “Letters To A Young Sister”…a follow up to “Letters to a Young Brother”

I received my preview paperback copy of Letters to a Young Sister by Hill Harper (he’s a cutie, but I digress) and can’t wait to read it.  It has already been out on hardcover, so I’d love to hear from any of you who have already read the book.

Here’s some news I received about it:

We all know Hill Harper as the star of CSI: NY, bestselling author, and inspirational public speaker. In Letters to a Young Sister you can see Hill in a different light – as an older brother, a confidant, a source of strength, and sounding board.

Letters to a Young Sister Hill opens up an honest dialogue with young women, offering guidance, advice, reassurance, urging young sisters to identify, embrace, and go after their passions and dreams.

With courageous advice of female role models (Michelle Obama, Ruby Dee, Angela Bassett, Eve, Ciara, Eve, Nia Long, Kim Porter), a foreword by actress Gabrielle Union, and interviews with everyday girls across the country, Letters to a Young Sister is a must-have book for any young woman trying to find her way.

Letters to a Young Sister received a lot of praise in hardcover. It was a #1 bestseller in Essence and a New York Times bestseller. The book also won the NAACP Image Award for ‘Outstanding Literary Work – Youth/Teens,’ in 2008.

I’m impressed with the amount of community outreach that Hill Harper has done outside of his acting career.  Here is a link to his official website Manifest Your Destiny:
