A Mixed Blessing

by Mintrue Gonzalez

Overview

A story about a girl of mixed races named Ruth Ann (Ruthie): Ruthie's prejudiced maternal grandparents perceived Ruthie's existence as shameful and wanted to keep her a secret. If her maternal grandparents had their way, she would not have existed but for her stubborn mother, who loved her dearly. Hidden away until a sequence of events changed this. Ruthie's life took an unexpected turn, one alongside her paternal grandparents, to whom she was their pride, joy, and a blessing. While struggling to handle her pain and losses, Ruthie gets a bird's eye view of two worlds. The one from her past and the one she lives in now.
