Summary:
"Dr. Ione Vargus has long been convinced of the value of family reunions, especially among Black families. For quite a few years, she traveled around the country to visit various Black family reunions to observe what families did. She interviewed various members of those families as well. The result is this book, which delves into the social and psychological benefits of having reunions, as well as some advice and guidance on the nuts and bolts of planning and holding a reunion."--Back cover
