Published in 1993, Having Our Say was a wild success, spending more than 105 weeks on TheNew York Times bestseller list. According to Hearth, all of the editions of the book have sold a combined 5 million copies. Written when Bessie was 102 and Sadie was 104, the book made the sisters Guinness World Record holders for the "Oldest Authors."
View this post on InstagramFollowing the publication and success of Having Our Say, the Delaney sisters were inundated with fan mail, with people asking them for advice, more stories, and words of wisdom. This led to them working again with Hearth to publish a second book, The Delany Sisters' Book of Everyday Wisdom. When Bessie passed away in 1995 at the age of 104, Sadie worked with Hearth once more to publish On My Own At 107: Reflections on Life Without Bessie.
All three of the books detailing the Delaney sisters' incredible lives are available wherever books are sold.
