The Strawberry Letter

“Only a woman who lives life with purpose and divine revelation can inspire people through her advice,  and that is Shirley. “

—Tyler Perry, Writer/Director/Producer

“Shirley Strawberry is a sistah who has been there and conquered that.  Her insightful advice on life, love, and relationships makes her book a must read for anyone struggling with past hurts.”

– Mo’Nique, Academy Award winner and host of “The Mo’Nique Show”

“Shirley Strawberry brings a unique blend of experiential wisdom and compassionate insight wrapped in a package of dialogue that is painfully honest and joyfully helpful.   Shirley Strawberry has that rare spiritual ability to “speak the truth in love” while making you laugh at the same time.”

– Bishop Kenneth C. Ulmer, Faithful Central Bible Church, Los Angeles

“Shirley’s book provides valuable insight into the dynamics of how to build a great relationship, repair broken relationships, and abandon oppressive relationships. Her advice should be followed by all who seek real love.”

– Judge Greg Mathis, host of “The Judge Mathis Show”

“The Strawberry Letter is the best thing that Shirley could’ve ever done for my life.  After I read this book and took that real talk, with that real advice, I’m no longer bitter…I’m sexy now! She’s the Oprah of radio!”

–Sheryl Underwood, comedienne and president of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.

“Every woman in any relationship, good or bad, should read this book, and then buy one for her significant other. This is not the Bible, but Shirley has certainly provided words to live by.   ”

– George Wallace, comedian

“Insightful, authentic and loving are just a few words that come to mind when I think of Shirley Strawberry. She’s wise beyond her years and has the gift of connecting with her audience regardless of their age or circumstance. In this book, she speaks from the heart and gives honest, non-judgmental straight talk to her readers.”
