From the Soul

This book offers a portrait of the love, strength, & wisdom that are the legacy of the black family. For a year & a half, Phyllis Harris interviewed black men & women living successful lives about their childhood. She heard a series of stories very different in their particulars, but alike on one regard: all credited the devotion & unwavering support of family members with inspiring & encouraging them to become loving, productive people. In this volume she shares these heartwarming, emotionally rich reminiscences of growing up black in America. More than a book on parenting or the black experience, this is a unique tribute -- highly personal, candid, emotionally honest, & poignant -- to the power of family. B&W photographsHarris, Phyllis Y. is the author of 'From the Soul', published 2003 under ISBN 9780756769970 and ISBN 0756769973.
