520    "In this memoir of upward mobility through an unexpected 
       route, a young black American woman signs up for lessons 
       in yoga and clean eating as signifiers of her new middle 
       class status, little realizing that her new lifestyle will
       bring her face to face with the inner demons fed by the 
       domestic violence, addiction, and poverty she witnessed as
       a child. Graduating, getting established in your career, 
       and dating another professional are things many young 
       middle-class women expect to do and take for granted. But 
       when your parents don't support you and you have siblings 
       in prison, those milestones seem monumental. What does 
       growing up poor do to your self-esteem? How do patterns of
       stress and family violence, poor diet and poor health 
       continue to affect you even after you escape to a higher 
       income bracket? And what can one woman do to turn around 
       the cycle of racism, poverty, and intergenerational 
       suffering? Hafiz gives a frank account of the anxiety and 
       rewards of becoming "middle class" through a complete 
       change of diet and adopting habits such as traveling and 
       doing yoga. While her peers pursue one kind of African 
       American dream by climbing the corporate ladder, Hafiz 
       finds meaning in learning to cook macrobiotic food and 
       practice meditation. By doing so, she recovers from 
       chronic health conditions and heals from the family trauma
       she has inherited"--|cProvided by publisher.
