Turner paints a vivid picture of the lives of these three girls each of whom had the potential to end up like Dawn. She also showed how Chicago created and then abandoned housing projects. I loved the strong families and the abiding friendship of Dawn and Diane.

Dawn Turner does an excellent job of portraying growing up in a black neighborhood of Chicago in the 60’s and 70’s. I grew up in a Chicago all white suburb during the same time period and our experiences couldn’t have been more different. The three girls Dawn, her sister Kim and best friend Debra all end up taking different paths in their life. Kim and Debra have drinking and drug problems. Kim’s problem ends up killing her and Debra’s problem ends up with her killing someone. Dawn herself ends up being a very successful journalist. It’s easy for people to think that if Dawn did it why didn’t Kim and Debra. This memoir makes one feel compassion and understanding about the path of everyone’s lives. I couldn’t put this book down.… (más)

The first third is perfect. Beautiful. The rest is really really good, just some structural awkwardness and the usual difficulties of writing memoir about being an adult rather than a child. The love and hope and honesty of Turner are profound. She brings in so many social perspectives yet never loses the heart of the story -- which is her heart, really, and the hearts of the loved ones she writes about.
