#11thHourReadathon - End: This story is what happened for five hours from beginning to end.
1960s. School year in Philadelphia with “the bosoms” - possibilities & potentialities. Warm summers in North Carolina with her father and his people - Jim Crow Laws & restrictions. Time spent with and without her father. A father who could have seen his disability as an excuse to fade from life is instead larger than life and pushing living to the edge.👇🏽

Nute It is the recollection of church, education, music, stories, friendship, dreams, expectations, happiness...civil rights. It is the honest telling of a young child‘s awe for a parent shifting and morphing through pain, anger, confusion and disappointment to an adult child‘s realization of family dynamics filled with appreciation, acceptance, understanding, hope and love.👇🏽 5y
Nute It‘s impossible to get it perfect. She never fakes it! It‘s an African-American family BEING a family. It‘s a father loving his child. It‘s a daughter who grows to realize that her father‘s love though imperfect sustained her well-being. It‘s an ordinary story told extraordinarily!
Highly recommended! 5y
