"Acting, mimicking, presenting, or narrating, Washington is always a figure to watch...with a fine actor's capacity for transformation and a born storyteller's knack for casting a magical haze over even the most everyday events." –
The Village Voice "At its most affecting, it's a memoir of Ms. Washington's parents' perseverance and muted pain in a culture warped by racism." –
The New York Times
