This memoir examines various aspects of race and culture encountered growing up and living in southwestern Ontario as a black Canadian from the 1940s to the 1990s. The subtleties inherent in the struggles against mainstream Canada's denial of race issues are exposed. In addition to her personal experience, Talbot includes relevant historical facts and discusses how they impacted previous generations as well as her own.
