This is a record, in retrospect, of course, of what life was like for a Negro family in DuQuoin, Ill., a mining town. Part of the book's fascination lies in the background material—the mines with their explosions, cave-ins, strikes, and lockouts. The rest of the fascination stems from the character of the father of this family—Braxton Berkley."—New YorkHerald Tribune Book Review, "The author writes simply, of simpler times. Hers is an account of family and community life in Du Quoin, a coal-mining town of southern Illinois, where, as a child, she enjoyed life. Fun and love were predominant in her large family. Wise parents helped her through otherwise traumatic incidents which she and others occasionally experienced as blacks... Ruby Berkley Goodwin sees the underlying strength and dignity of the blacks who formed a real community. She writes of her experiences without affectation and with humor."
