Growing up in the southern states of America in the 1920s was a chancy business for a coloured child. The author and her brother Bailey – who gave her the nickname 'Maya', meaning 'mine' – led a varied, colourful and, at times, frightening existence, but her joy somehow survived. This book is the first in a series of five autobiographical titles.
