"A fiercely felt memoir about family shame and the transformative
power of love even as it's also an ongoing meditation on privilege
and race in twenty-first-century America. This is a debut striking
in its empathetic imagination, observational acuity, and emotional
intelligence." -- Jim Shepard, author of Like You'd Understand,
Anyway. In a memoir that's equal parts love story, investigation,
and racial reckoning, Munemo unravels and interrogates her
whiteness, a shocking secret, and her family's history. When
interracial romance novels written by her long-dead father landed
on Julia McKenzie Munemo's kitchen table, she--a white woman--had
been married to a black man for six years and their first son was a
toddler. Out of shame about her father's secret career as a writer
of "slavery porn," she hid the books from herself, and from her
growing mixed-race family, for more than a decade. But then, with
police shootings of African American men more and more in the
public eye, she realized that understanding her own legacy was the
only way to begin to understand her country.
