A new edition of this award-winning modern classic, with a new introduction
In 1958 Georgia, the shade of a 13-year-old black girl's skin can make the difference in her fate. Tangy Mae is the smartest of her mother's 10 children, but she is also the darkest complected. The Quinns - all different skin shades, all with unknown fathers - live with their charismatic, beautiful, and tyrannical mother, Rozelle, in poverty on the fringes of a Georgia town where Jim Crow rules.
Rozelle's children live in fear of her mood swings and her violence, but they are devoted to her. Rozelle pulls her children out of school when they are 12 years old so that they can help support her by going to work - as domestics, as field laborers, or down at "the farmhouse", where Rozelle takes her oldest daughters to turn tricks for her.
Tangy Mae has been offered the opportunity to apply to an integrated high school and might even have the chance to graduate if she can somehow avoid her sisters' fate. Can she break from Rozelle's grasp without violent - even fatal - consequences?

Fabulous story

This book made me angry, made me cry an reminded me how cruel an evil people can still be towards black people and each other. This book showed the heart of man regardless of bloodline and race. It showed the broken fabric of a people once told they can never be anything but...the darkest child.
Humanity must come to a better understanding If not we as a collective people will always an forever remain lost. I searched frantically for the sequel, unfortunately with Dolores Phillips untimely passing I can only create my own ending and for me God made all things right for her. This reality is the one I pray for as I'm certain based on what's happening with hate an racism all these centuries later, true reality tells me it most likely did not. I highly recommend this read, it will touch your soul and dare you to look deeply at the many darkest children that remain left behind.
A must read!!!

It is a shame the author passed away and never finished the sequel. I was invested in the story and wanted to know what the future held for the narrator, tanji May.
Moving story with superb narration. Highly recommended!
