White Picket Fences by Amy Julia Becker is first and foremost a book about repentance. It is also a book about privilege. When we think about privilege, often our first reaction is to balk because we don't see our privilege, whether it be the privilege of being white, the privilege of being a man, the privilege of knowing that we are straight or that we are cisgender. White Picket Fences deals mostly with the concept of white privilege, and it starts with children's books.

Everyone should read White Picket Fences.
