Two Old Women is one of my top ten favorite books of all times. It is the incredible story of two old women left behind by their tribe when they are no longer able to find food. It is one of the most inspiring stories of survival I have ever read, and Velma Wallis is an amazing storyteller.
Everyone I know who has read Two Old Women loves the book and the women.

Great! This book should be required reading in early middle school. It has so many lessons to teach and it's such an easy read. The cover says betrayal, courage and survival but I would add inspiration, hope,joy and humility. Might even help bring back a little respect for our elders.

This was a very interesting book--how i did love these two old women and felt so sorry for them. The culture did not seem fair. But as an older woman, i can say--i guess they showed those men!! This was a very endearing read and i do reccommend this to anyone who would like a smooth read into another culture for a day, you will come out at the end with huge respect for these "TWO OLD WOMEN".

Uplifting and encouraging story of two elderly women who are abandoned by their tribe when food becomes scarce. Their eventually success despite the odds speaks to the value of the individual regardless of age.
