A MUST read for every pre-teen and teenager. A powerful story of family that depicts the ties that bind family members together.
Now, I consider the author a very good friend of mine so consider my astonishment when I began reading dialogue that is soooo beautifully written! I knew Pamela Tuck was talented but a true master of dialect and dialogue is revealed throughout this tale.
Kudos to the author and to the characters brought alive in Color Struck.

4.5 stars. I really enjoyed this book. Loved the premise of it! Would have liked a little more history on the other characters (parents of Pat, Cherie and Renee). But overall, it caught my attention from beginning to end. Definitely a book for all folks to read, especially African Americans! Look forward to reading more from Pam and Joel Tuck!

Bought the book from Pamela Tuck at the Celebrate the Book Event this year. She is such a sweet, gentle, spirit I felt moved to purchase the book and really read it.
Surprised to learn prejudices occur in unlikely ways.
Grandma Bell is an incredible inspiration.

After teaching with Mrs. Tuck and learning about the writer's craft, I read Color Struck. This moving story about family, struggle, and forgiveness will have any person reassess the way that he views family, his own conflicts, and his ability to forgive others completely.

Fantastic book. Recommended from the local library, due to Pamela being a local author.

I really enjoyed this book. Once I finally began reading it, I couldn't put it down.

This book is truly historical fiction at its best, written by someone who " heard it from the horses mouth". Unfortunately some forms of color struck exist today
