description: At first glance, Morris book seems to be just an inspirational autobiography, detailing how a poor black girl from Long Branch, New Jersey overcame emotional problems and defied predictions of her societal demise to earn an undergraduate degree, with honors, from prestigious Simmons College and Masters Degrees from Boston College and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, before building an illustrious career in human services and public health. And it is that. But it is so much more. In addition to chronicling the good, bad and ugly of her lifes journey and the close-knit black community of Long Branchs public housing projects, Morris does two important things that transcend her riveting personal story, both of which make her book a compelling read even if you have no connection to Long Branch and regardless of your racial background.
