UWSP Book Club discussion

Hello all! Here we can discuss our thoughts about what we believe this book to be about and what we expect to gain from reading this.

So, I'm only a few pages into this: and I have to admit, the author is hitting it on the nose. By page 13, she says: "By now you've noticed that I am not only white but a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP), from a family with plenty of socioeconomic advantage. I worry that some white readers will quickly conclude: This story has nothing to do with me. My family wasn't wealthy or WASPy. We immigrated here and made it from nothing..."
And boy is she right. My grandparents on my mothers side came from Austria, and my great-grandparents on my fathers side came from Scotland. So I'm only a few generations down, and I was thinking this. She goes on to still discuss our advantages, and it sort of hit me like a brick wall. Only 14 pages in and I'm already considering things in a new light. I'm looking forward to see what else this book has in hold for us.
