Summary
Humorist, Mishna Wolff, grew up in a poor, black Seattle neighborhood with her white, single father who believed he was black. From early in her childhood, he began his crusade to "make his white daughter down". Despite his efforts, she… did not quite fit in, but when she attended a rich, white school, she found she was too "black" to fit in there, too. This funny, poignant memoir elicits the question of what it means to be black and white in contemporary America. Adult. Strong language
