GREAT

I read this for a book report. It really shows the inhumanity of humaninty!!!!

Divided to the Vein - Scott Minerbrook

A brave and gutsy chronicle of an inter-racial family.

He never condemns, only describes grippingly. He not only survived; he achieved wholeness and stability despite stunning obstacles. I'll never look at a bi-racial person the same way again.
