A valuable perspective

Small Moments is a child's recollection of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s, aided by her perspective as an adult years later. Ms Barrow has provided bits of information about the racial issues of the times with her recollections to help the reader begin to understand how Amelia felt as a black woman working as a servant for a white family. As a memoir this is a thoughtful tribute to the woman she loved as a child. Every honest attempt to understand another person's perspective is a step toward healing.
