Powerful perspective of another person's experience. Some of the things felt a bit of a stretch - unconnected to the racism element. I felt that the book slightly insinuated blacks and whites will never be able to understand one another which made me sad. But I'm on the privileged side of that, so I don't want to necessarily argue that. But if it's true, how sad.
