Interesting but Long

I really found this story interesting and timely. it's a direct response to all the ignorant people who ask why we don't forget about slavery. it proves that the Racial caste system lives on in this country even when we don't see it. My only issue is the length of this work. it was almost impossible to get through and repetitive.

Life Truth Matters

This book is a powerful and meaningful read. It sheds light on the experiences of many mixed raced and multicultural individuals. I learned so much and I am wiser because of the time I took to read this life-changing book.

Such a relatable story!

This is an amazing story! I loved Gail's drive to go after the truth. I also love how her story led her to her family.

Beautiful

the lines of color arent so simply drawn, as seen from the example of the authors mother. i have developed a new appreciation for the struggles of those who camnup in the Jim Crow America.

Highly recommended

I really enjoyed this book. I wanted to read it after watching a clip on Instagram. I’m glad I did.
