Invisible Boy

A Memoir of Self-Discovery

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"An unforgettable coming-of-age memoir about a Black boy adopted into a white, Christian fundamentalist family. As an adopted and homeschooled Black boy with ADHD at white fundamentalist Christian churches and tent revivals, Mooney was raised amid a swirl of conflicting and confusing messages and beliefs. Within that radical and racist right-wing bubble along the U.S the in Canada's Bible Belt, Harrison was desperate to belong and to be visible to those around him. But before ultimately finding his own path, Harrison must first come to understand that the forces at work in his life were not supernatural, but the same trauma and systemic violence that has terrorized Black families for generations. Reconnecting with his birth mother--and understanding her journey--leads Harrison to a new connection with himself: the eyes looking down were my true mother's eyes, and the face was my true mother's face, and for the first time in my life, I saw that I was beautiful."--
