Synopsis

IT'LL ALL COME OUT IN THE WASH is a vivid account of a
tenderfoot Negro girl's negative experiences while coming of age
under Jim Crow laws. Deeply depressed by what she perceived to be a national disaffection
for Negro children, debilitating physical and emotional symptoms
asserted themselves in the author's early childhood and continued
unabated into maturity. In an effort to manage her frequent bouts with
depression, she would eventually seek mental health therapy as
an adult. A book of many genres, this memoir is chock-full of
nostalgia, situational humor, melancholy, loving family portraits,
short stories, and philosophical musings on the pernicious effects
of racial insensitivity.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Joanne Crutchfield grew up in Chase City - a small, hilly town tucked away in the Piedmont region of bucolic Southside Virginia. Inordinately fond of reading from an early age, her love of literature and language inspired her to turn her hand to creative writing. Scores of short adventuresome yarns were written primarily as course work for the Institute of Children's Literature in Redding Ridge, Connecticut - and to encourage her young children to become avid readers. The ploy worked like a charm. IT'LL ALL COME OUT IN THE WASH is the author's first book. She has published inspirational quotes and award-winning poetry.
