"Jasminne Mendez didn't speak English when she started kindergarten, and her young, white teacher thought the girl was deaf because in Louisiana, you were either Black or white. She had no idea that a Black girl could be a Spanish speaker. In this memoir for teens about growing up Afro Latina in the Deep South, Jasminne writes about feeling torn between her Dominican, Spanish-speaking culture at home and and American, English-speaking one around her. She desperately wanted to fit in, to be seen as American, and she realized early on that language mattered. Learning to read and write English well was the road to acceptance. Mendez shares typical childhood experiences such as having an imaginatry friend, boys and puberty, but she also exposes the anti-Black racism within her own family and the conflict created by her family's conservative traditions. She was not allowed to do things other girls could, like date boys, shave her legs or wear heels. 'I wanted us to find some common ground,' she writes about her parents, 'but it seemed like we were from two different worlds, and our islands kept drifting farther and farther apart.'"

"I believe Dr. Blake's memoir is the classic of classics of books written about the Black/White race thing. It catches more of the reality than "To Kill a Mockingbird - and "Gone with the Wind". Even better than all of Faulkner's novels. Why do I say this? More important, he captured the reality of the past century of Black/White reality through his parents and extended family. After finishing the Ole Miss School of hard-core white supremacy, he was introduced to the reality of racial reconciliation. Dr. Blake's memoir is a must read for everyone interested in the Black/White race thing in the world." James Meredith, Esq. First Black Graduate of the University of Mississippi '62
