Martin Luther King Jr. once told me, "Young lady, you should write a book. You have an interesting story to tell." You know what? It's about time I did.
In Pennsylvania, during the times of my youth, the Ku Klux Klan rule the counties with an iron grip. Everyone who doesn't meet the Klan's exact specifications are met with distrust or overwhelming hatred. As an orphan, I am not included in those specifications, and I find that the black community are the only ones who don't treat me with disdain. The arrival of a half Native American boy in my foster home changes the lives of everyone around him, myself included. Through his guidance and courage, and the wisdom imparted by a former slave, I learn to survive in a land where the Klan routinely get away with blatant racism and religious intolerance, arson and even murder.
