Summary:  "Julie Lythcott-Haim, author of the anti-helicopter parenting manifesto How to Raise an Adult, pulls no punches in her recollections of growing up a biracial black woman in America. Bringing a poetic sensibility to her prose to stunning effect, Lythcott-Haims stirringly evokes her personal battle with the low self-esteem that American racism routinely inflicts on people of color. The only child of a marriage between an African-American father and a white British mother, she shows indelibly how so-called "micro" aggressions in addition to blunt force insults can puncture a person's inner life with a thousand sharp cuts. Her father was a doctor who served as an assistant surgeon general and she grew up in affluent, mostly-white neighborhoods. Lythcott-Haims's path to self-acceptance, and the healing power of community in overcoming the hurtful isolation of being incessantly considered "the other." An affecting memoir and a clarion call to all of us to live more wisely, generously and fully. Julie Lythcott-Haims is a graduate of Stanford University, Harvard Law School, and California College of the Arts. She served as dean of freshmen and undergraduate advising at Stanford University"--Provided by publisher. "In a text that resembles a memoir, a prose poem, and an album of verbal snapshots, a writer from a mixed racial background chronicles her journey - and battle - to understand her racial identity"--Kirkus Reviews.
