"This was an amazing book, about a man who thought he was white until he was 10 years old, and then discovered that he is part black - which means everything in Muncie, Indiana at the time of the Jim Crow laws. Engrossing and disturbing - and a fast read!"
"The story of Gregory Williams's life from when he was young through young adulthood. The title says it all. I can't say enough about the courage it took to share his story and the pain he endured from the time he was young. His writing is excellent - descriptive and poignant."
