Thank you for your comment.ReyvrexQuestor Reyes wrote: ↑07 Nov 2018, 21:40 This story encompasses the hardships of a father trying to bond together with an extended family of two colors and other shades resulting from the blending of the two. It will be fascinating, as I foresee it would. Thanks for your interesting review.
It could definitely inspire intriguing discussions in the right book club.
Nice pun there! A couple of the characters seem a bit "black and white," but there are hints that there is a little bit more going on below the surface.Sahar Majid wrote: ↑04 Nov 2018, 04:36 I love how there are two parallel families and the idea of one man having two family shocked me quite a bit, but it's a good twist in a story that already has such an interesting political backdrop. I hope the characters weren't too black and white though. Thank you for the honest review!
Thanks for stopping by to read and comment!
I'm not sure that "colorblind" should be the ultimately goal. I hope for a time when we can fully value the gifts and contributions of every human being, of every race and nationality. We need to see diversity as a gift, not a problem. Stories like this are a reminder that we still have a long way to go to respect and protect the rights of everyone.Miriam Molina wrote: ↑11 Nov 2018, 02:09 I like the title; it is very symbolic. Music and sports are arenas that blacks excel in. I remember reading somewhere that the whites like the blacks to entertain them, but not to rule them. Will there ever be a time when everybody will be completely "colorblind"?
Thanks for the colorful review.

Thank you, for your compliment and for stopping by to comment.Julie Green wrote: ↑13 Nov 2018, 16:49 This sounds like an excellent read. I enjoyed your review - particularly your notion of a "level clearing" in the text, where you can come up for air and gain a higher sense of what is happening.
