Bray describes with remarkable frankness growing up poor in Chicago in the 1960s, and her childhood shaped by welfare, the Roman Catholic Church, and the civil rights movement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBray writes poignantly of her lasting dread of the cold and the dark that characterized her years of poverty; of her mother's extraordinary strength and resourcefulness; and of the system that miraculously enabled her mother to scrape together enough to keep the children fed and clothed. Bray's parents, held together by their ambitions for their children and painfully divided by their poverty, punctuate young Rosemary's nights with their violent fights and define her days with their struggles. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis powerful, ultimately inspiring book is a moving testimony of the history Bray overcame, and the racial obstacles she continues to see in her children's way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosemary Bray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0385494750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385494755\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.84h x 5.28w x 0.58d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e36593 \/ Unafraid of the Dark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Virginia Readers Choice Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2000 pg. 1097\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlack Issues Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2005 pg. 51","brand":"Rosemary Bray","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46685922623743,"sku":"9780385494755","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aa2d46e7-6df5-4e3f-b27a-6dcb6531dc7d.jpg?v=1741727171","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unafraid-of-the-dark-rosemary-bray-9780385494755","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
