Inhaltsangabe

Patricia Sizer details her decades of personal and profession struggles against two forces beyond her control: her status as the third of her parents' four children, and her status as a light-skinned African-American woman who is sometimes assumed to be White by both the Black and White communities. Patricia's diverse ancestry includes a White Confederate soldier, an African slave, and an Irish immigrant, among others. At a young age, she is shocked to realize the prejudice that exists within the Black community regarding skin tone. Interspersed with memorable and sometimes humorous events, she recalls the verbal and physical abuses she endured.
