Description: Trevor Noah, host of the popular American talk show "The Daily Show", committed a crime at birth: because his father was white and his mother was black, and because in apartheid South Africa at the time, such a union was a crime, his parents would have faced a five-year prison sentence, and Noah himself would have been sent to an orphanage. In order to protect Noah, his courageous, rebellious, funny, strong, and devoutly religious mother came up with all sorts of *even ridiculous* ways to try her best to create a normal life for him in the midst of a cycle of discrimination, poverty, and violence. Noah, who inherited his mother's character from an early age, had to learn how to live "awkwardly" in a world where he was not supposed to exist, in addition to growing up like most teenagers. The stories collected in this memoir are sometimes humorous, sometimes thrilling, and sometimes touching, but all of them highlight Noah's amazing gift for comedy and a mother's unconditional, unending, and unparalleled love.
