Do I Dare Disturb the Universe?: From the Projects to Prep School: A Memoir

A memoir of race and education, this is the story of a girl who grew up and out of the Cleveland projects in the 1960s and '70s. While growing up in Cleveland, young Charlise Lyles experienced turbulent events including race riots and a neighborhood murder. Yet she was inspired to appreciate literature at a young age, and she spent her days readingâ€”and also often searching for the estranged father who taught her that love of learning. Despite starting in the â€œslow classâ€ at an aging school on Cleveland's east side, Lyles had a thirst for knowledge and drive for success that would open a door to new opportunities. Granted a scholarship to a prestigious prep school in a wealthy suburb, the vibrant teenager finds herself presented with a bewildering set of new challengesâ€”and a new direction in life.
