In this moving autobiography, Toni McNaron bravely depicts her early encounters with racism in pre-civil rights Alabama alongside her personal struggle with sexual identity. This book is a powerful social document as well as a brave account of one woman’s emotional, psychological, and intellectual self-actualization over five decades.

The author’s vivid recollections of those halcyon years make for exciting, informative reading.
