"A clear, poignant, eloquent account of a courageous young woman
whose tortured father and heroic mother helped shape her wonderful
destiny."
--James McBride, author of The Color of Water
"Excruciatingly honest--Good autobiography requires not only
literary skill but also passion and candor. All these Rosemary L.
Bray displays in abundance."
--The New York Times Book Review
"In this richly told, well-written memoir, Bray pushes beyond easy
summations of her life, beyond the boxes and categories; she claims
and celebrates her life, presenting her story in all of its many
dimensions."
--Chicago Tribune
"Straightforward--brisk and rousing--should be read by all who seek
to 'know' welfare, not according to the fund of racist and
malignant misconceptions but according to the testimony of one who
actually knows it from inside."
--Washington Post Book World
"Inspirational--More than a memoir, it is a 1960s coming-of-age
tale, a professional development review, and a collection of essays
on class, race, and political issues as they intersect in a Black
woman's life."
--Emerge
