Book Synopsis
Charles M. Blow was the baby of the family, fiercely attached to his "do-right" mother. Until one day that divided his life into Before and After - the day an older cousin took advantage of the young boy. This is the story of how Charles escaped that world to become one of America's most innovative and respected journalists.

Trade Review
"[An] exquisite memoir . . . Delicately wrought and arresting in its language, this slender volume covers a great deal of emotional terrain-much of it fraught, most of it arduous, and all of it worth the trip." -New York Times.
