Recenzii
"Donna
Britt
is
a
born
giver
and
along
life's
bumpy
roads
she
found
her
share
of
takers.
Combining
her
incredible
talents
of
giving
and
writing,
in
this
tender
but
gritty
well-crafted
memoir
she
dropped
her
fig
leaf
bearing
her
soul,
faced
her
demons,
and
arose
the
victor.
Never
again
will
I
read
a
newspaper
headline
without
imagining
the
other
brothers
of
the
world
behind
it."—Ron
Hall,
coauthor
of
Same
Kind
of
Different
as
Me
"In this gutsy memoir, journalist Britt write engagingly about the men in her life, and how caring for them often robbed her of a sense of self-mission....Britt writes eloquently of a woman's sense of anguish and ambiguity in giving herself so completely."—Publishers Weekly
"In her debut memoir, formerWashington Postcolumnist Britt offers an introspective account of growing up in Gary, Indiana...A probing psychological exploration that delves to rarely tapped depths."—Kirkus
"Moving."—AARP The Magazine
"Achingly honest. An alternately raw and elegant memoir...A wrenching, introspective examination of a life through the prism of racism, sexism, and unconditional devotion. Donna Britt's insights into her roles as mother, wife, and sister to black men explores the gray and fuzzy complexity of human emotion when, for better or worse, imperfect people love other imperfect people."—Boston Globe
"Few black women have written about black men more frankly with heartfelt eloquence than formerWashington Postcolumnist Donna Britt."—Louisville Courier-Journal
