High Yella

by Steve Majors

Few people on earth can write from the perspective of someone who is black but also white, gay but oft mistaken for straight, Catholic but tied to Judaism . . . with a 'white-picket-fence' present and an improbably complicated past. High Yella is a story that begged to be told, and, what luck, the protagonist of this real-life tale happens to be a masterclass writer. This delicately crafted memoir is a testament to the unquantifiable things that connect family--not cells and DNA, but shared experiences and unconditional love.
