White Boy

White Boy is one man's unvarnished story of love, loss, race, Memphis,

and a dark past. Everything is laid bare when Memphis author,

deeply introspective account of his life.

rose-colored glasses as chapter after riveting chapter he confronts

his family's racist past, shares his eye-witness memories of the

integration of Memphis public schools, details his dating escapades

with women from another race, and brings you to tears with his

powerful account of the roller-coaster relationship with a Sierra

Leone native whom he met on Match.com and brought to the U.S. to

become his bride.

This courageous and unforgettable memoir is sure to stirand perhaps

even prompt you to reconsideryour own feelings about love and race.
