From the author of Pappy Moses' Peanut Plantation and A Slave's Song - Two slaves, a mother and daughter, separated during the Civil War never to see each other again. From her mother's diary, Etta Jean will learn to love the mother she never knew. And from the same diary, a mother will finally give of herself.
Born a Colored Girl by Michael Edwin Q was a really good book. Unfortunately, there was a lot of bad things that occurred in the book, but Etta Jean over came them. I was thrilled to see that this book progressed to a good ending where Etta Jean learned that her mother loved her and that she created wealth for the generations to come. I especially loved the last page of the book that described Ms. Walker's grave stone "Born a colored girl, lived and died A Black woman. I am going to tell my friends and especially family about this book. I really enjoyed it, my heard was delighted.
