Not since "Cane River," an Oprah Book Club pick, has a book come along to strike a familiar discord of memories for Black Americans with such vivid imagery and accurate reflection.

This was a very inspiring read. I was in awe of the adversities this author faced, yet she continued to strive for excellence. Its amazing to me that black america encountered so many hardships during the 50's and 60's, yet when met with such injustice, they enveloped themselves within the misfortune and it made them stronger.

About a girl who grew up in 1950s Mississippi. Fair read.
