OF
“A DOLLAR FIVE-
STORIES FROM A BABY BOOMER’S ONGOING
JOURNEY”
“These
stories became more and more beguiling as I read. She touches lightly on Jim
Crow in the Fifties and the Sixties and somehow emerges more intact than you
would expect, because there must have been more incidents affecting her than
she gives away. She describes her mother lovingly and her father as a somewhat
stern yet caring man. The family's historic barbecues, their drive down the
hairpin curves of San Francisco's famed Lombard Street, The Crookedest Street
In The World, her triumph over dissecting a frog and the teacher, Miss Cook
giving her the foundation for college and a profession, her Great Aunt Mary who
hid her car from her employers because they were not to know she could afford
one and did not need their handouts of cast-off clothes and leftover food, all
these paint a picture of Sheryl Bize-Boutte's childhood in both light and
shadowy landscapes.”
