Awesome and inspiring
Heard about this book and looked for it on ebay. It is an awesome book about a black family's determination to succeed in spite of the bigotry and racism in 1950's America. Against all odds, 4 daughters became doctors and one a teacher. They are all success stories.
Extraordinary story and defeats all the arguments that if you are born poor and black, you have no chance to improve yourself.
A must to read.

Good read
An interesting story about the unlikely triumph of an Arkansas girl who became one of the most influential magazine editors of her time. A must read for everyone.

Easy reading, but, interesting
Gives an excellent overview of Los Angeles in the 1960's.
