​“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”
- Toni Morrison

Meet the Author

          In high school I noticed how unfair people’s judgement of each other - based upon skin color, etc. - was.  It affected me then, but not in the same way or to the same degree as when, years later, I gave birth to my first daughter.  She is African American and...me.
          My second daughter came just  a few years later (she is the narrator in the book) and is Mexican American and me.  Since then, I have been blessed to meet and love so many more people - all wonderfully different.  I wanted to find a way to share that love and celebrate those differences, while also, hopefully, inspiring others to find pride and honor in not just who we are, but how we are different. 
​          Some of the people I have met and loved are in the book.  So many more are not, yet no less loved.  I hope you enjoy the book and come back to share stories about the people you love.
