- Summary:
- In 1972 Lorene Cary, a bright, ambitious teenager from Philadelphia, went as a scholarship student to a formerly all-white, all-male (and still unapologetically elite) school in New Hampshire. She was determined to suceed--without selling out. This wonderfully frank and perceptive memoir describes the perils and ambiguities of that double role.
- Local Notes:
- Gotham Book Mart Collection copy 1 has ms. inscription by the author: "To Peter, A present from your father. [?] do keep writing. We need every voice. Warm regards, Lorene Cary 28 June 1992".
