The Darkest Child

Rozelle Quinn is so fair-skinned that she can pass for white. Her ten children are mostly light, too. They constitute the only world she rules and controls. Her power over them is all she has in an otherwise cruel and uncaring universe.

Rozelle favors her light-skinned kids, but Tangy Mae, 13, her darkest-complected child, is the brightest. She desperately wants to continue with her education. Her mother, however, has other plans. Rozelle wants her daughter to work cleaning houses for whites, like she does, and accompany her to the â‚¬Å“Farmhouse,â‚¬Â where Rozelle earns extra money bedding men. Tangy Mae, sheâ‚¬s decided, is of age.

This is the story from an era when lifeâ‚¬s possibilities for an African-American were unimaginably different.
