More about the book

Elementary, My Dear is Author K. Bethany's debut memoir that provides a gripping account of her early childhood growing up in Detroit. This riveting tale is told from a young girl named Kimberly's perspective, as she endures the many trials and tribulation that are prevalent in the black community during the early 1970's. While dealing with the constant miseducation that was ushered in with the zeal of racial prejudice, bullying and surviving an abrupt social climate, a young Kimberly finds valiant strength in one of her older sister's most prized possessions... her new white jacket. This story of perseverance through the harder times of life and the essence of one family's will to survive a brutal past, truly restores a value to the black experience.
