Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

As a child, Bebe Moore spent her school years in Philadelphia, in a world of women. Surrounded by clouds of Emeraude and Chanel, supported by the strength of her mother, grandmother, aunts, and teachers, she learned by example to mind her p's and q's, to cross her t's and dot her i's. But when summer came, Bebe was sent down South to live with her father — an extraordinary man who allowed no disability or disadvantage to stop his dreams, and whose powerful presence added a different dimension to his daughter's life. Now, in this acclaimed memoir, the bestselling author of such novels as Brothers and Sisters remembers those sweet summers and shares the bittersweet experience of growing up in 1960s America, finding a place in the world — and discovering that family may be separated, but it can never be truly divided.

Synopsis:

This acclaimed memoir by the author of "Brothers and Sisters" and "Singing in the Comeback Choir" recalls the sweet summers spent with her father, an extraordinary man of dreams and inspiration, in the American South of the 1960s. "Fearlessly unveils the pain of loss and the ecstasy of love".--Maya Angelou.
