Product Description
At his grandfather’s deathbed, Isaac Hunt, a black man with blue eyes and skin so fair he looks white, learns his parents aren’t really his parents. Armed with only his birth mother’s name and the city where she last lived and reeling from betrayal, he goes in search of her and in search of the truth about his past. His odyssey takes him deep into the south, where the Klan still rules the small town of his birth, and where more than one person does not want Isaac to uncover the truth about who he his. Along the way, he must deal with issues of faith and forgiveness in this coming-of-age novel about race, identity, courage, and truth.
===========
This is a story that people of all races can relate to. Isaac Hunt goes on a journey to find the truth about his biological parents. He’s a young man feeling sickened about secrets that have been locked away from him his entire life. Betrayed, he must return to his mother’s town and find out more about her, and his White father. During his journey he’s hurt both emotionally and physically. Stubborn, Isaac finds it hard to let go and let God have control over his life. Peace cannot reign in Isaac’s tumultuous life until he learns the most important lesson that each of us must embrace.
I enjoyed this wonderful story. I have the sequel, Loving Cee Cee Johnson, in my to-be-read pile!
I’d like to top off this post by asking a question, and you all can answer if you feel like it! Have you ever felt hurt because someone has lied or hidden important information from you? How did you deal with it? What did you do?
It’s getting close to my bedtime, so I can’t think of an answer to my own question right now, but, if you feel so inclined, feel free to chime in!
