Description
Growing up in Brooklyn during the Vietnam War, a young woman witnesses the tearing apart of her family by anger, finances, and the draft, and when her parents fail to offer support and guidance, she struggles with society's mixed messages.
Description
It is the Vietnam era, the "Brady Bunch" era, a time when men walk on the moon and families unravel. Brooklyn pulses with African American and Latino life, a world separated by invisible barriers from the white world. Through the eyes and ears of the unnamed narrator, we come to know - in all its sensuality and brutality - a world that is held together by a young girl's fragile perceptions and cautiously emerging desires. Autobiography of a Family Photo is a coming-to-consciousness, coming-of-age story of a young girl, told with passion and poetry, honesty and clear vision.
