From the volatile, short-lived pairing of a West Harlem beauty and an Italian from East Harlem came a sensitive child with a filmmaker's observant eye. Ragusa's sensuous memories are a reader's delight, as they bring to life the joy, pain, and inexhaustible richness of a racially and culturally mixed heritage.

Reviews
Not since The Color of Water have the complexities and the blessings of a multiracial lineage been explored so lovingly and elegantly, yet so dramatically and honestly. You will fall in love with Ragusa and all the members of her family, as this child of two Harlems--both African American and Italian American--learns the mysteries of both strands of her past. The best memoir I've read in years., Kym Ragusa's brave and engaging book is beautifully written, a thoroughly good read from beginning to end. From the story of a sometimes painful, conflicted past, she has created a testament to an American future, proud of its multicultural history and ready to hold all our different lives within its borders., Kym Ragusa stands bravely and with great grace in the troubled space between East and West Harlem, Italian and Black, to tell us about the pain of this in-between place and its challenges and beauty. What an extraordinary book! Not since Piri Thomas's Down These Mean Streets has this world between been described so courageously and with such insight. I read this with a deep sense of moral urgency, convinced that the life Ragusa made for herself with her grandmothers could be the ground of hope for the city itself., Think of The Woman Warrior, The Liar's Club, and Wide Sargasso Sea, then add an entirely new voice born out of New York's Harlem and Sicily's Palermo. Raucous, hilarious, heartbreaking, and luscious, Ragusa's work is destined to take its rightful place alongside our most powerful books.

Seller packaged badly- just used a thin poly bag like you would receive clothes in. Item received damage as a result. Seller also denied the cancellation I sent 5 minutes after buying since I realized the book was the wrong language- MAKE SURE TO LOOK UP THE ISBN BEFORE BUYING!!!
