Summary: 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.
