I'm only about halfway through and now I want to see the documentary on this book.
"The First and Final Nightmare of Sonia Reich" by Howard Reich. I guess you could look it up on Amazon dot com. Or maybe find it at your local used bookstore or Alibris. I got my copy at the discount bin in the grocery store.

Edit:
I found a link to the trailer on YouTube
Argh, that's not showing up, so here's the link...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1F5lO9QtJrMI also found this entry on the blog interesting. A couple folks in the audience at Tarrant Community College, in Arlington, Texas, really understood Reich's mother. One was from Ghana and the other from the People’s Republic of Congo.
