Review # 1 was written on 2008-08-03 00:00:00 Paul Bull My searches for books written by white parents of African-American (particularly with older children and domestic adoption) have turned up very few books. This book is one of the view. The writing style is sometimes abrupt and and unpolished, but the author's candid discussion of her life with her son ultimately makes up for stylistic short-comings.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-05-05 00:00:00 Mark Singer The title made me interested, but the book read like a Sociology lecture (not surprising, as I learned early on that the author is a Sociology professor). The section pertaining to the differences between white democratic parenting and the African American style of parenting was interesting...told to us readers in the context of grocery store shopping.
