  Offers an account of the author's life during a racially turbulent period in Detroit. This memoir tells the story of the author's childhood with subversive allusions to the Victorian-era coming-of-age stories she consumed while growing up and the moral lessons she absorbed in such readings but could not reconcile with her own experience.
