<p>GROWING UP SOUTHERN: White Men I Met Along The Way is an ordinary journey of little Negro girl to woman of color in America. King uses her life, in vivid essays, as a microcosm, to share stories of white boys and men she encountered in racial episodes and everyday dramas that are familiar to readers on both sides of the racial aisle. GUS is King's acronym for book, which is full of experiences inspired by some of the men King met in Jasper, a part of East Texas that King had negative childhood memories of. King redefines her own life and does it with candor, humor, honesty and balance. GROWING UP SOUTHERN isn't about throwing the race card. Instead, it reshuffles an old, outdated deck.</p>
