A Strange Answer
Today no one thinks twice when a husband and wife are of different races. But during the 1960's the United States was in turmoil during the Civil Rights Movement. If a black man married a white woman, or a white woman married a black man, trouble was sure to follow. Della doesn't understand why Winnie doesn't want her to to get close to her son Reggie. But is there more to Winnie's "Not really" than the fact that Reggie is black and Della is white? The answer will surprise you.
Book Excerpt
Finding Her Joy: Book 1 of Heart of A Family Series
“No hanky-panky between you and Reggie. You don’t go in his room, and he won’t be comin’ in yours. You can be friends, and that’s all. Understand what I mean?”
Della blushed. “Yes, ma’am. Does Reggie have any brothers or sisters?”
“Not really.” Winnie’s lips pursed, and she turned away from Della. “Let’s get home.”
“Not really?” What kind of an answer is that? Della didn’t dare ask. She looked out the window as they passed the school, rounded the corner, drove four blocks, and turned onto Grant Street. “That house used to belong to my Aunt Marie.” She pointed. “My friend Chris and her husband bought it. I want to visit them sometime.”
“Okay.” Winnie’s face was still flustered.
