Black Ice by Lorene Cary

Method of Disposal: Lending Library
I have no idea where I got this book. Another lending library? I am glad I grabbed it from wherever I did. It is an autobiography about a woman I knew nothing about before reading it, but I cared about her right away. She is a bright and motivated young girl that grew up in Philadelphia and went to an elite school in New Hampshire in the 70's. The school was predominantly white, but it had begun accepting black students before she attended. She got there and was tokenized but also taught and encouraged. She found close friends and attempted to find herself. Ultimately, she would become a teacher at that same school. She clearly has conflicting emotions and feelings about her time there, understandably. A teenager would anyway, but with being transplanted from one city and experience to another city and experience, while feeling the pressure to perform above average as a black teenage girl on a scholarship, it would have been overwhelming. Lorene strives and succeeds and then she allows us into her private thoughts during that time. It is great all around.
