Ellen Foster (Oprah's Book Club) Review: Your daughters will love this gem of a book - Fabulous read by Kaye Gibbons. Fantastic, unforgettable opening line. Review: Ellen Foster book review - I saw the movie on TV and decided I wanted to read the book the movie was based on. I could visualize the happenings when reading the book because of viewing the movie first. The young girl in the story lived a Hell on Earth. She was a survivor and knew what she wanted and pursued her dream of a new family. The book made me so grateful for the family I grew up with. Ellen was faced with racial discrimination because of her black girlfriend, along with fear of sexual abuse living with her drunken and abusive father and his black men friends. After her mother's death and later her father's death she was forced by the courts to live with her Mother's Mother, an angry verbally abusive old woman who treated her badly because she was the daughter of the horrible man that her daughter had married blaming him and Ellen for the abuse and death of her daughter. It is quite a path that she must travel to not only survive but find the family that she so deeply desired. The book is written in Ellen's words in the first person, making it a little hard to read at times but also very effective. It is a short, sweet, and good read. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #155,037 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #397 in Classic American Literature #3,747 in Classic Literature & Fiction | | Book 1 of 2 | Ellen Foster | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (1,257) | | Dimensions | 5.45 x 0.45 x 8.25 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 1616203021 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1616203023 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 144 pages | | Publication date | October 17, 2012 | | Publisher | Algonquin Books | ## Images ![Ellen Foster (Oprah's Book Club) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/817G3XT0xpL.jpg) ![Ellen Foster (Oprah's Book Club) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CV3gtUb0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Your daughters will love this gem of a book *by R***E on February 25, 2026* Fabulous read by Kaye Gibbons.

She develop’s a view of life and “takes it by the horns” to create her own view of life. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ellen Foster (Oprah's Book Club) - Romeo and Juliet: No Fear Shakespeare Side-by-Side Plain English --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/22244210-ellen-foster-oprahs-book-club](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/22244210-ellen-foster-oprahs-book-club) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
