Trade Review
“Taking a cue from James Baldwin, who found the innocence of privileged white Americans appalling, Patricia Foster has recounted her own trajectory from clueless small-town Southern girl to a hard-won loss of innocence about the reality of racism, in this stunningly written, unique and vital memoir.” —Phillip Lopate, author of To Show and To Tell: The Craft of Literary Nonfiction
