Stealing home : an intimate family portrait by the daughter of Jackie Robinson / Sharon Robinson - New York, NY : HarperCollins , c1996 - x, 213 p., [16] p. of plates : ill. ; 25 cm.

Sharon Robinson's childhood in the 1950s was typical of the privileged suburb where she grew up - the apple of her father's eye. However, in at least one important respect, her life was utterly extraordinary: Her father was the great Jackie Robinson, the man who broke the color barrier in baseball. Stealing Home is her story of growing up in the shadow of a hero, and it offers a remarkable portrait of an African-American family who embodied the American Dream of the 1950s.
