Review

200 pages, hardcover

Thompson eloquently relates the difficulties of bringing up a proud, intelligent and sensitive child in a culture that does not recognize such qualities in African American men. This lesbian mother soon finds that her commitment of raising Adrian in a multicultural, progressive environment is trickier than she had imagined. . . . This memoir will strongly appeal to anyone interested in the complications and pleasures of raising children in a culture of increasingly different and contested family values.
