Journey through the early life of Trevor Noah, growing up in apartheid South Africa, where his birth—the result of a mixed-race union—was a crime. With humor and depth, he shares stories of his childhood with his fearless mother grappling with identity in a world determined to have his very existence be 'illegal' and finding one's place. This book is more than a personal story of survival and growth; it is, in fact, a powerful statement about race and resilience, characterized by the very strong love and nurturing of a mother's spirit. This book is truly one that is not only inspiring but also equally informative.
