The author was just eight years old when his father murdered his mother and them killed himself. Woodholme is his poignant memoir about growing up haunted by this traumatic event, and how he eventually overcame the reality of their loss. Gracefully written and wryly humorous, this is an evocative portrait of growing up black in the '60s, a sensitive exploration of paternalism and paternity, and a deeply moving story of self-discovery.
