Vickie C. reviewed on 3/31/2007 + 14 more book reviews

A classic autobiography of growing up poor and black in the rural south. Written without sentimentality of apology, this is an unforgettable personal story. To read her book is to know what it is to have grown up black in Mississippi in the forties and fifties.
