This was more scandalous and salacious than I was expecting. I was curious to read about Rebecca Walker‘s upbringing as a child of mixed race and cultures but what I read was a story of neglectful parenting, numerous sexual escapades and unrecognized privilege. It was a compelling read but I would have like to learn more about her navigating chilhood. Now I‘m very eager to read Alice Walker‘s memoir. I wonder how she‘ll cover these same years.
This one was winking at me yesterday. It‘s pretty interesting. Rebecca Walker is the daughter of Alice Walker, who was married to a Jewish man in the late 1960‘s. Im curious to read Alice Walker‘s new memoir after this.

Author Rebecca Walker is daughter of Alice Walker 💜
I loved this book. Yes, there were some awkward parts I could live without but it spoke to my heart. I'm also mixed and this is the first book that I could relate to on that level. Its insanely confusing to not fully fit in either world and have everyone tell you about different parts of yourself because of their notion of the two sides. The circumstances are different but so much of the feeling was the same. I was constantly amazed.
I went to high school with Rebecca. Let's just be clear - she was one of the cool kids and I was not. But as I read her "autobiography of a shifting self," I see her and understand her high school persona and appeal from a very different perspective. Interesting read.
