"Heartbreaking and uplifting. a searing book about race and prejudice in America. brims with insights that only someone who has lived on both sides of the racial divide could gain."--Cleveland Plain Dealer   "A triumph of storytelling as well as a triumph of spirit."--Alex Kotlowitz, award-winning author of There Are No Children Here As a child in 1950s segregated Virginia, Gregory Howard Williams grew up believing he was white. But when the family business failed and his parents' marriage fell apart, Williams discovered that his dark-skinned father, who had been passing as Italian-American, was half black.
