""Trudy" depicts a battle of wills between a black salesclerk and a white customer, shining a harsh light on the bigotry of the 1950s. In "My Side of the Story," a little boy struggles to understand why his mother has abandoned him despite her claims that she loves him. In the aptly titled "Inside Out," a man who has adopted all the trappings of the white world - the hair, the clothes, the speech, the attitudes - finds himself still ostracized in his office and gently mocked at home by a wife who embraces her blackness with pride."--BOOK JACKET.
