Summary
How do people identified as gifted respond to being labeled as such? And does it matter if the person is culturally diverse and underrepresented as a gifted individual? The editors answer those questions with personal narratives of fifteen adults who have navigated through life with this gifted identity. Representing a broad spectrum of racial, ethnic, and regional backgrounds, the adult contributors describe in detail what it is like owning the gifted identity throughout one's life.--Publisher.
