Summary
The author of the critically acclaimed Warriors Don't Cry continues her story about what happened after the integration of the Little Rock schools and describes her long but rewarding journey toward compassion and forgiveness, a successful career, joyous marriage, and new approach to life. Reprint.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Showered with awards, honors, and critical praise for her previous memoir, Warriors Don't Cry--which detailed her years as one of the "Little Rock Nine" who integrated Central High School--Melba Pattillo Beals now presents an acclaimed follow-up which answers the question asked of her time and time again: What happened next?
Here, she recounts the story of her move to California, where she found refuge in the home of a white family, her eventual marriage to a white man, and her long struggle to let trust and love conquer fear and hate. Her inspiring tale of healing offers a new definition of family and of freedom--as well as a compelling account of moving from powerlessness to power, with heart and soul intact.
"We see her struggles to find her own identity as an African-American woman...Highly recommended."-- Library Journal
"Moving...an important story."-- Ebony
The follow-up to the very successful and highly acclaimed, Warriors Don't Cry--which won the ALA Award for Nonfiction Book of the Year and the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award--was named a Notable Book by the ABA, and was included in Readers Digest's annual edition of "Today's Best Nonfiction"
The author has been featured in such publications as USA Today, People, and Newsweek
Beals has been awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for her role in the Civil Rights movement
