I am not sure if I can get to hecked up about this being some kind of attack on 'Black Families'. Afterall, on the face of it, the woman is doing no more than getting some stuff off her chest about her mother. I can't see there is a necessary much to learn in the wider aspect about the 'black family', just about her dysfunctional familythe story of whichelicits no interest in me whatsoever. Furthermore, if the quoted extract is anything to go by, the quality of her writting skills doesn't it make it sound like something I would consider reading for it's pure literary value.

Didn't Joan Crawford's daughter do something similar with a book about her mother?
