Description
Raised in Detroit in the shadow of the 1967 riots, this memoir follows a boy born to a Black father and white mother who is taken into foster care and later adopted by a white minister and his wife. Growing up in a racially mixed household, he navigates the everyday tensions of belonging—where love is real, but acceptance can feel conditional, and questions about identity are never far away. With candor, humor, and emotional clarity, he traces the pressures and joys of family life as his community and country wrestle with race, fear, and hope. Ultimately, the book is a deeply human story about resilience, self-definition, and what it means to find—then claim—home.
