"The treatment of each unique child is the true measure of the state of the world. Donna Hylton was punished for being born female, black, and brilliant--yet she survived to create her own life. A Little Piece of Light will tell you just how fragile--and how indestructible--the human spirit can be."
Gloria Steinem
"At once riveting and disturbing, Scarred is a brave but messy stab at redemption."
The New York Times
“Sensitively handled and written in breezy prose that doesn’t linger too long on the expository details of their ordeal, the author sets a fine example for other parents either imagining or personally experiencing a similar situation … [T]he Whittingtons have truly afforded their son the opportunity to ‘grow up with the chance to cultivate the same self-love and confidence to which every child has the right when he or she is born.’
​
​An uplifting testimonial to the power of unconditional familial love and acceptance.”
Kirkus Reviews
“As this book explains, there is a difference between the superficial experience of tourism and that of the traveller. Immersing oneself in a culture different to one’s own is closer to the ancient practice of pilgrimage—respectful, nourishing and life-changing.”
