NOT COLOR BLIND takes the reader on a roller coaster ride of emotion as it spins a tale of love, greed and murder.  Pulling no punches, it dives head-on into a world rift with racism, poverty, domestic abuse and child exploitation.   

The story introduces two women.  Beth, a narcissistic and spoiled yet neglected child. bent on her own destruction.  Nettie, a light skinned black woman, living a quiet unassuming life but hiding a secret past that can destroy her.   

The two women meet as a hurricane rolls through Mississippi.  Drenching the state in a blanket of rain and wind, a very pregnant Beth resolves to flee her brutal husband.  Gripped in painful labor, she escapes the dilapidated shack that has held her prisoner the past year.  She finds haven in Nettie’s home where she delivers the baby.  Beth refuses to acknowledge Pearlie, the child born of a hated husband and regretful past.

A shared history of pain and abuse draw the two women together and bonding them in a friendship born of like scars.   Eventually, Beth slips away, leaving behind Pearlie.  Nettie gladly accepts the child, loving and raising her as her own.  When Beth returns, Nettie must relinquish the child she loves.  Knowing Beth will expose her secrets, Nettie cannot challenge the woman she no longer recognizes as a friend..

Forcibly taken from the only home she has ever known, Pearlie is thrown into a world Beth designed for her. Her innocence destroyed, Pearlie must fend for herself.  Lost from her caring family, Pearlie becomes hardened to a life devoid of love and decency. 

When Beth’s husband is murdered, Pearlie is blamed.  Nettie holds information that can save Pearlie but her own secret past may come back to haunt her.  Three lives hang in the balance.  Will the trial save Pearlie, justify Beth or condemn Nettie’s very soul?

 Set in Mississippi and Tennessee, NOT COLOR BLIND brings the reader face to face with shocking reality of a world rift with racism and secrets.  It gives the reader insights into the struggles of ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances; a world where the past, present and future meld into consequences that can never be undone. .

NOT COLOR BLIND is sure to leave the reader unsettled and questioning whether right and wrong, good and evil can ever be so cut and dried or whether the real world exists in a gray area of “what if”.
