S.T.U.F.F. Book Review, by Janie Johnson
I found the book S.T.U.F.F.: An autobiography by Jadie Lewis, informative, enlightening, funny, and full of history dating back to the 1960’s. I not only found this book fascinating, I would highly recommend it be made into a movie. This book would be a great read for the Millennial's and Generation X. They will learn how many African American Baby Boomers’ not only survived and thrived, but became successful by working hard and “pulling themselves up by their bootstraps” with little assistance. I laughed, cried, and was especially moved by Jadie Lewis honesty, frankness, perseverance, and vulnerability. Jadie persevered through a childhood filled with dysfunction, trauma, and disappointment. I can relate to much of her story, because not only was I also raised in the city of Oakland, specifically East Oakland, my parents also migrated from Louisiana, by train to Oakland, California. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who appreciates a great comeback, and heartwarming novel.
