5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully written!
I read A Touch of Innocence as research for a project on black dance in America and found myself lost in a different world. Dunham's autobiography of her early years is a work of art.

This review is from: A Touch of Innocence: A Memoir of Childhood (Paperback)

I read A Touch of Innocence as research for a project on black dance in America and found myself lost in a different world. Dunham's autobiography of her early years is a work of art. Her descriptive prose reads like that of one who writes for a living instead of as a diverting side-line to the dance. This book should be on the nightstand of every person interested in great black literature.
