The son of a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother, Trevor Noah was an outcast and, by necessity, a cultural chameleon in his own country where his parent’s union was punishable by a prison sentence. However, his determination, humor, and positive outlook grew with love from his somewhat eccentric mother. He went on to become a celebrity and host of The Daily Show. This wonderful memoir of a talented person is also an eye opening account of life under apartheid in South Africa in the early 1990s.
