Gregory Howard Williams

moving, powerful, and inspirational. a true story of hope and survival in the face of a mountain of obstacles. the struggles and betrayal Greg faced are shocking, and his strength and determination astounding. highly recommended. a powerful story of race and prejudice, and one man's struggle to break every boundary. 5 stars

The prose in this is really, really pedestrian. I finished it so fast because I didn't want to spend any more time on it than I had to, not because I wanted to read it.

"in my life time" series. The story of a man who was born into a biracial family. When his white mother left he moved with his father to Indiana, where he struggled to grow up in a poor and dysfunctional family.

WOW. That's all I can say about this book. I led the discussion Life on the Color Line for our book club. It was a difficult book to read. I think Williams is on my list of living people I would most like to meet.
