The childhood parts felt like a solid 5 stars but the adult sections especially the last two chapters were hard to read
I'm not really sure the purpose of this book either?
The childhood parts were a good insight in like in the 50s being upper(middle) class black people but then the rest feels like a lot of anything?
There's not much to connect to that the depression section was boring
I wouldn't really recommend it to others but I didn't hate the book it's just hella confusing on purpose or what the author wanted me to feel or take away if anything at all

What an interesting memoir. It felt like a deep dive not only.into the authors past, but also america's past and how it shaped the authors community of the black elite. Robin Miles. Did an excellent job as narrator. The Audiobook was enjoyable.
