The Initiation goes into the lives of siblings that had to find their own way out of the south where they were limited in job opportunities. The family described in this book illustrate the love and concern for one another, which was practiced in their family home. Although, the family did not have money they shared the love for their parents and one another. The love shared in this family was instilled in their children. Claudette wanted to live a financially comfortable life and she created that for herself and her daughter Amethyst. Claudette used her beauty, charm and financial suave to accomplish her goals.

 On her own quest for self-discovery, Denise Brown was tasked to review her family history, gathered some struggles and triumphs, and wanted to share how her ancestors’ choices created behavior-building blocks for future generations, some good and some not so good. As in most African American families, spirituality was the foundation for living a selfless existence. But at some point, we all realize we are selfish and want our egos stroked.

This book illustrated how siblings raised by the same parents had similar yet different outcomes. In the early 1920s–1960s, African Americans were striving for their piece of the American pie.
