This book was quite interesting. A good type of interesting. It explained the 60s from a different point of view. An young, southern black girl living in NYC. I have to give credit to Woodson for telling the whole, true story about her childhood. Every detail, every bump in the road she not only wrote but also explained. Explained what she felt during that time and how it affected her. It's not your average autobiography. This is a book I would totally recommend. The good thing about it is that it's a book made for all ages.… (más)
