Title: unique, important book
Review: I was one of 15 white students in a huge urban high school in the early 1970s and my mother gave me this book to read. I must have read it a dozen times. It is a heartfelt, candid, beautiful personal narrative surrounded by the social issue of race. Susan Gregory tells her story that puts you in the school and on the street next to her, she uses the borrowed comb even though she remembers too late that it has pomade grease on it, she laughs with her friends in class, she yells "Hey!" when the boys in the car yell "Hey, white girl!" as they drive by. All of this happened to me too and I cherish those years more than any other in my relatively long life of more than 50 years. Thank you Susan Gregory, I hope that you get to read this and know how very much your book meant to me.
