Surviving the White Gaze: A Memoir by Rebecca Carroll

2.5

emotional reflective sad medium-paced

---

This memoir of a black woman’s experience growing up in nearly all white spaces was intriguing and thought provoking, but was not an incredible book. I admired the author and appreciated her ability share her story and difficult family history. However, the writing style and structure was not really for me. 2.5/5
