Born Crying is an autobiography of a stage door child who was surrounded by many early century stars and grew to become an educator and advocate for children during integration and beyond. The book contains stories about moments with W.C. Handy, Lenny Bruce and other performers from vaudeville and night clubs in the 1940s. It follows Dr. Newton's life through many events in history, the shock of seeing segregation in the South, teaching during the integration of southern schools, the death of President Kennedy, the first man on the moon, and the election of President Barack Obama. But more than that, it reflects on how a lonely little girl, shaken by a tragic accident and perceived kidnapping, married at sixteen and a mother at eighteen, becomes a Doctor of Education who seeks to reform an education system fraught with corruption.
