Publisher's Summary

In Neat, writer/performer Charlayne Woodard shares her memories of growing up black in America in the '60s and '70s. The play focuses around the life of Woodard's Aunt Beneatha, Neat, who was mistakenly fed camphor oil as a baby, resulting in permanent brain damage. Alternating between Neat's home in Savannah, GA and Albany, NY, where Woodard was raised, stories of family and of time spent with Neat are weaved together with touching results.

    "A Must Read"

    Neat is one of the best audible books I have listened to in years. Charlayne does an absolutely fantastic job of reading her own book. I have not laughed out loud so much when reading/listening to a book in forever. I am a member of a book club and I have the month of February (African American History month). I am the only African American in my book club and always choose February to add a little flava...to the line up. This will indeed be our February selection. I will encourage them to listen to it rather than read the book.
    Good on you Charlayne. I am downloading another of yours immediatley.

    "Nana"

    In order to relate to Charlayne you would have to walk in her shoes. People that are blindsided to this way of life will enjoy this book. It’s an eye opener.
