Title: Sugar's life in the hood
Description: "In this book, Sugar Turner collaborates with anthropologist Tracy Bachrach Ehlers in telling her story.

Through conversations with Ehlers, diary entries, and letters, Turner vividly and openly describes all aspects of her life, including motherhood, relationships with men, welfare, and work, and her attachment to her friends, family, and life in the "hood." Ehlers also gives her reactions to Turner's story, discussing not only how it belies the "welfare queen" stereotype, but also how it forced her to confront her own lingering confusions about race, her own bigotry."--BOOK JACKET.
