This is a personal, moving work about child abuse, racial "passing," and women making art, and will attract all readers interested in these topics.

Quotations
My mother and father were at war; whoever loved the other first would lose.
You would think that the one treated so cruelly would "kill" the abuser; throw him out of the brain forever. What a horrific irony that the abuser is the one most taken in, most remembered; the imprint of those who were loving and kind is secondary, like a passing cloud.
