What I Love About this Book
It never once uses the colors "white" or "black." Some are almond, some are butter and cream, some are cinnamon. The author does not use PC cop-outs, rather brings out the beauty in each individual.
Cautions
If the premise makes you uncomfortable, preview it before using it.
