"A personal memoir becomes a social history of a time and place because of Janet Cheatham Bell’s frankness about growing up black in Indianapolis....Along the way we learn more about Indianapolis than we may care to acknowledge. But that information is what we need to absorb so as to understand who we are as a city and a citizenry. If the current thrust to 'take back the neighborhoods' is to succeed we must read and talk about Bell’s memoir." Rita Kohn in NUVO: Indy's Alternative Voice, June 6, 2007
