- Summary:
- Harris's book cuts away the long-held stereotype that African Americans can't parent. Instead, she shows what blacks already know--that the black family has been a source of enormous resilience, support, and understanding through difficult times and that black families have survived because they have known how to use the most powerful defense against a harsh environment: familial love.
