Dear Jeff is a chronicle of adventure in cross-racial adoption, growing up black and white, fighting racism in rural Mississippi in 1965 and experiencing an integrated family's hop and disappointment, despair and joy,and posthumous reconciliation. Writing with candid and often brutal honesty, Gough discusses the abuse Jeff suffered as a foster child and victim in a failed early adoption, his troubled relationship with Jeff, the mistakes he made as a father, and those precious moments when Jeff was the charming, loving, mischievous son and brother the family longed for.
