The Color of Love: A Mother's Choice in the Jim Crow South by Gene Cheek

3.0

This is book is hard to describe. On the one hand, it's easy reading - a compelling memoir written in very simple (even maybe kind of cheesy) prose. On the other hand, it's pretty heavy subject matter. It was fun to read, but a bit of a downer. I would recommend the piece on Gene Cheek's story from This American Life to anybody who might be interested - it played on episode 313: Parental Guidance Suggested ( http://thisamericanlife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=313 ).
