A fearless debut memoir in which beloved and bestselling How to Raise an Adult author Julie LythcottHaims pulls no punches in her recollections of growing up a black woman in AmericaCourageous, achingly honest.'Michelle Alexander, New York Times bestselling author of The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of ColorblindnessA compelling, incisive and thoughtful examination of race, origin and what it means to be called an American. Engaging, heartfelt and beautifully written, LythcottHaims explores the American spectrum of identity with refreshing courage and compassion.Bryan Stevenson, New York Times bestselling author of Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and RedemptionBringing a poetic sensibility to her prose to stunning effect, LythcottHaims briskly and stirringly evokes her personal battle with the low selfesteem that American racism routinely inflicts on people of color. The only child of a marriage between an AfricanAmerican father and a white British mother, she shows indelibly how socalled 'micro' aggressions in addition to blunt force insults can puncture a person's inner life with a thousand sharp cuts. Real American expresses also, through LythcottHaimss path to selfacceptance, the healing power of community in overcoming the hurtful isolation of being incessantly considered 'the other.'The author of the New York Times bestselling antihelicopter parenting manifesto How to Raise an Adult, LythcottHaims has written a different sort of book this time out, but one that will nevertheless resonate with the legions of students, educators and parents to whom she is now well known, by whom she is beloved, and to whom she has always provided wise and necessary counsel about how to embrace and nurture their best selves. Real American is an affecting memoir, an unforgettable cri de coeur, and a clarion call to all of us to live more wisely, generously and fully.
