I was extolling this book to a professional colleague who is Black. I said I thought it should be on the list of books that students may read about the civil rights movement. My friend objects to the book because she says it stereotypes Blacks and misrepresents history. I have other friends who had nannies who says the book accurately portrayed their experiences. I am interested in others' perspectives.
