Brown Girl Dreaming

Brown Girl Dreaming is about the author's (Jacqueline Woodson) childhood. This book takes place in the '60s and '70s. Jacqueline is African American and while her family is living in South Carolina she experiences segregation between the blacks and the whites. This book starts with when Jacqueline was just a baby, and it talks about the memories she had while when she was just a toddler. By the end of the book, Jacqueline is twelve or thirteen.  I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read about books that take place in the 1960s and 1970s.
