They Called Us Exceptional and Other Lies that Raised Us

By Prachi Gupta

A memoir of a childhood and early adulthood of the writer and her brother, growing up in a family with a controlling father in a culture that breeds exceptionalism amidst a systemically racist society.  It's hard to imagine a young sensitive person having to go through such a life, and the book definitely provides a lot of food for thought. [275 pp.]
