Book Preview:

#1 I will always remember the day Emmett was born. It was July 25, 1941. A Friday. But I’m getting a little ahead of my story, because this is not where it really begins. My mother had brought me to the hospital on Wednesday.

#2 The birth was a breech birth, meaning the baby was coming butt first. The agony was so severe, I thought there could be no greater pain than giving birth to a child.

#3 I had decided that I wanted a boy first, then a girl, then another boy, then another girl. So I was excited to have a boy when I gave birth. But when I looked at his skin color, blond hair, and blue eyes, I knew right away that he wasn’t a boy.

#4 The author’s mother did not prepare her for the world outside their home. When the author became pregnant at age 16, her mother simply dismissed it and didn’t explain how babies were made.
