As a book that freely talks about his recollections of childhood, early years and family, and his search for roots. this book comes across as a heart to heart dialogue with readers. Along with putting down his memories and views, the author also talks frankly about how it felt to be the son of a white American mother and a black father from Africa. In his unique style, he also relates the experience of suffering from discrimination and rising above it all. He underlines this journey with a mixture of emotion, straightforwardness and literary brilliance.
