In this stunning memoir, Rosemary Bray describes growing up poor in Chicago in the 1960s and becoming one of the first black women at Yale--and she shows why changes in the welfare system make it virtually impossible for her inspiring story to happen today."Certain things shape you, change you forever," Bray writes. "Years later, long after you think you've escaped, some ordinary experience flings you backward into memory. Being poor is like that. Living surrounded by fear and rage is like that. I grew up hating the cold, dreading the approach of night. Thirty years later, a too-cold room at night can trigger a flash of terror."When Rosemary Bray's mother decides to apply for welfare, it creates a rift between her parents, and yet it proves to be the salvation of the family, enabling the Bray children to be educated--and education was the one thing her parents agreed upon as the only way to a better life. Bray writes movingly about her resourceful mother, who joins the Catholic church and shepherds the children to school. The nuns at the Catholic school spot Rosemary's potential and arrange for her to become one of the few black children at Parker, a predominantly white private school on the other side of Chicago. In a series of powerful vignettes, Bray describes the shock of discovering the discrepancies between her life and the lives of her affluent classmates. She writes of the experiences that gave her hope: a teacher fostering her development and choosing her to play the title role in Alice in Wonderland; the thrill of being accepted at Yale; falling in love; becoming a journalist; and, ultimately, becoming a mother.In this beautiful memoir about how the dark in a life can be overcome, race, gender, and social problems are explored as a fine writer tells the story of a life.

Fear is a normal part of life for all of us, including young children. It tends to start when you try something new, something that you’ve never experienced before or something that is mysterious. For children, this happens almost every day, so fear has a lot of opportunity to rear its dreadful head -- especially at night. Children have very vivid imaginations. When the lights go out things look different. They spend a good deal of their day imagining up all sorts of fantastic things and this doesn’t stop simply because it’s bedtime. This especially hold true for five year-old Tony Black. Tony wakes up in the middle of the night and has to go to the potty. The problem for Tony is that the hallway that leads to the bathroom is very dark and he is very afraid. He is also afraid to wet the bed, because an angry mom can be just as scary as a dark hallway. So now, young Tony has a dilemma. All of a sudden Tony remembers his Grannie and the stories that she tells him. She has always told him about God being everywhere, and to think of that whenever he was afraid. So Tony’s decision was made and just in time before wetting himself.
