Woodholme (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780374529833)

"PG-rated autobiography of a young man's coming-of-age in a black Baltimore ghetto. Journalist Wickham (USA Today, Gannett News Service) was orphaned in 1954 at the age of eight when his father shot his wife to death before turning the gun on himself ... Woodholme constitutes a good argument for the effectiveness of the black community's extended family, '' in which neighbors and teachers assume the role of absent parents. " - Kirkus Reviews
