A moving and wonderful book with several pages of black and white photographs.
The last section of the Prologue tells it better than I could:
This is the story of a family that is black, white and Indian.
This is the story of how color separated that family.
This is the story of a family that accepted its color but rejected its race.
This is the story of a family that accepted its race but rejected its color.
This is the story of how the black family prospered and became visible.
This is the story of how the white family fled and became invisible.
This is the story of the black family's search for the white family from one generation to the next.
This is the story of the white family's denial of the black family.
This is the story of how the family lived with the choices it made. This is the story of choices still to come.
This is all one story.
This is the story of my family.
