Black, White, Other: In Search of Nina Armstrong by Joan Steinau Lester
3.0
This book is about a mixed race girl's struggle to find her identity. She finally, after many trials, begins to realize that her identity is not a race, but it is her, with all of her strengths and weaknesses.
There is a continuing story interspersed throughout the book of Nina's slave ancestor. Sarah's story of escaping slavery is exceptional, although it starts out choppy.
I noticed that the publisher of the book usually publishes Christian literature. This book has little bits about God and Jesus giving a person strength but it is not a dominant theme in the book.
I didn't give the book more stars because it was not exceptional. I did like it well enough that I wanted to keep reading to find out how Sarah's story ended and also how the author would close Nina's part of the story.
