That Wasn't Allowed
Not allowed? Yes, allowed, but really looked down on. A biracial couple was often the brunt of cruel jokes and discrimination. Della noticed Mr. Huston's kindness. She saw how well he dealt with other math students in her class. And he was attracted to her. She could tell by the look in his eyes when he talked to her. But he was miles above her. At least in Mother Carrie's belief. But that didn't matter. Della had to find out more.
Book Excerpt
Finding Her Joy: Book 1 of Heart of A Family Series

“That’s because his father, my brother Nat, married a white woman.”
“He did? Really? I didn’t know that was allowed.”
“Oh, it’s been happening for hundreds of years. But most people still don’t look favorably on biracial marriages. It hasn’t been easy for them.”
“Oh.” Della traced a line in the wood of the table top with her finger. “Do they live here in Puttersville? What do they do?”
