Etat : FINE. First printing. A memoir of her first 12 years when her father told her there was a war against Black people and she had to become a soldier. He was a "proud Jamaican immigrant who encouraged his daughter to read, and took her to museums and to Carnegie Hall, but also called her 'damn black devil child' and beat her for the slightest misstep.
