I met Leonia in 2012 in the waiting room of a stem cell clinic in Colorado. We were both having hip issues and hoped to put off hip replacement surgery using our own stem cells. From that time on, we remained in contact with each other from time to time checking to see how each of us was doing. Gradually, through our correspondence, I learned about her twin sister, Leona, and that they were both judges in the Detroit area. Not until I read her book, Your Honor, Your Honor, did I truly learn what courageous and inspirational people she and her sister were. This book shows what can be done when you have a “Don’t Quit” attitude as their mother instilled in the girls as children that carried them through adversities that touched their lives like mental illness, alcoholism, discrimination, and put downs to become leaders in their community. Even when devastating grief cut Leonia to her core, she knew she had to keep thriving to new heights. From teaching young minds to be strong; to negotiating contracts for Motown celebrities; to helping people get: off drugs, out of the world of prostitution, and needed help for veterans, Judge Lloyd made her indelible mark in this world.

I am a currently licensed elementary teacher, school social worker, Marriage and Family therapist and Clinical Social Worker. As I read this book I was so impressed with the honesty of the writer and the openness of her emotions that I knew I had to write a review to let other people know that they will NOT be disappointed in what they read. Rather they will be inspired by hearing how appropriately and inspirationally these brilliant and beautiful twin sisters used their lives for the purpose of serving those who needed help but also for the purpose of serving God. What fantastic role models for all of us to follow. I want to thank Judge Leonia Lloyd for so caringly writing this wonderful book

I knew the twins when they attended Mumford High...they were so easy to know nice intelligent. I read about them over the years and was so proud of their many accomplishments. This book covers all and is is my mind excellently written...success...grief..turmoil...life. I highly recommend this very human story to all
