From the Back Cover:

Eloise Greenfield'Three [African-American] women--grandmother, mother, daughter--recall significant aspects of their respective childhoods [from the 1800s through the 1950s]. The effect is poignant and moving [as familiar patterns develop]: household chores, school life and socials, encounters with prejudice, love of family, pride of heritage.' --H.
