Synopsis

This memoir is a story about the many magical minutes that populated a boy’s childhood as he grew up in St. Louis during the 1950s and 1960s. But it’s also about the collective fears of the time: polio, communism, nuclear annihilation, homosexuality, Catholicism, women’s rights, and a black family moving next door. It’s about the bigotry that his parents and his culture taught him. Equally important, it's about the people and events that helped him begin to realize the injustice that prejudices leave in their wake. It is about people in his childhood and youth who challenged him, provided support and comfort, and offered safety from a family that was often dysfunctional.It's about a young boy who began a journey to challenge the prejudices he learned. It's about a boy who was taught to see a world in black and white but who began to glimpse its many colors.
