She observes the complexities and paradoxes, the haunting memories and ambushing realities of growing up Black in the South with a family name inherited from a white man, of getting a PhD from Yale, of marrying a white man from the North, of adopting two babies from Ethiopia, of teaching at a white college and living in America's New England today.

In the 1950's and 60's families are expected to deal with death privately and silently.
