Advance Praise

As a woman of color, this book was extremely heartfelt. It took me back to my childhood at a time when friendships were built on trust and loyalty—in spite of race. When love, trust and God played a role in the lives of family and friendships.

Francine Abbott, Goodreads review

One of the most enjoyable reads I have had in ages. The only time I put it down was when I laughed, or when I cried so hard I had to wipe my eyes. Ritter’s voice is captivating and believable.

Brenda Sachs, Lancaster, PA, Beta reader

In the wake of Ferguson, Brown and Garner, Growin’ Up White is a warm and wonderful story of inter-racial friendships and love.

Markitha Brown, Amazon Review
