| 520 | |a In 1970, three-day-old Marra B. Gad was adopted by a white Jewish family in Chicago. Marra's biological mother was unwed, white, and Jewish; her biological father was black. The world wasn't ready for Marra-- and even in her own extended family, racism bubbled to the surface. Relatives who could not tolerate the color of her skin were cut out-- including her once beloved, glamorous, worldly Great-Aunt Nette. After fifteen years of estrangement, Marra discovered that Nette had Alzheimer's, and she worked to get Nette back to the only family she had left, watching as the disease erased her aunt's racism. -- adapted from front flap | ||
