This book was quite enlightening, a true story of a Black family who performed years ago in carnivals, etc.  It kept me interested most of the time, although there was a part of it where it went into too many descriptions of the acts they do - but overall, it was well written and the reader learns what life was like at times and places that most of us never experienced.  Written by a woman who did not even learn to read and write until her 70s, it tells the story of her carnival family.  Definitely well worth reading, a history about our country that most of us don't even know exists.
