Kevin D. Hofmann
Growing Up Black in White by Kevin D. Hofmann is a moving and sometimes humorous look into the life of one man with a fascinating past. Born into the racially-charged Detroit of 1967 to a White mother and a Black father, the author was placed into foster care and then adopted by a White minister and his wife, the parents of three biological children.
Hofmann’s memoir reveals the racial tensions, the difficulties of feeling neither Black nor White, his family’s loving support, and his struggles to define and embrace his own identity as he grew to be a man. This is a story of hope and promise, and how we are able to define ourselves not through the racism and judgments of a challenging society, but through our own sense of self-respect and personal identity.
Kevin Hofmann came to this memoir after a lifetime of contemplation and self-analysis. After attending a national conference on adoption, he found his voice and wove it into this emotional and often amusing story. Hofmann lives with his wife and two sons in Toledo, Ohio.

There really wasn't a transformation, feel good moment in the book, at least that I had hoped for. However, it felt more like it was simply his testimony. Without spoiling the story, he was adopted and much of the story towards the end is about sibling issues. I'll just leave it at that. His search for who he is/was causes one to feel compassion. I think this story was just as much about the ambiguity of being adopted as is about being raised in a white world as a black man. There was much unfair prejudice that he endured, for sure, but he loved his white adoptive parents. He referred to them as mom and dad. Nice.
All in all I enjoyed this book and I wish the author well. I think he still has some stuff (as we all do) to work though regarding his upbringing. However, we are all on a lifetime journey and we never stop growing and processing. I appreciate his honesty and his transparency.
