Born with White skin and blue eyes to the embarrassment of her darker skinned parents, Tess and Clyde, Victoria faces rejection and colorism at an early age. Tess and Clyde send Victoria away to Dallas to live with her childless aunts, Charlotte and Mary. Charlotte is a wealthy widow, and Mary is clairvoyant. Mary has seen the difficult road ahead for Victoria if she makes the wrong choices because of her appearance. Because of this, Charlotte, Mary, and Victoria's maternal grandparents, Chandra and Ed, shower Victoria with love and encourage her unique intelligence and talents to help keep her on the right path. However, Clyde and Tess, along with Clyde's domineering, voodoo practicing mother, Betts, begin to spitefully interfere and attempt to crush and cower Victoria's spirit. Can Victoria withstand the vindictive influence of Betts and her parents? Will she be able to remain true to her faith and herself to overcome the trials of her childhood and find her destiny as an adult? Or will she succumb to evil and find herself creating a line that she cannot break?… (altro)

I dedicate this book to my mother who gave everything and asked for nothing. I want to thank my children, my in-laws, and my family for giving me time to work, and I want to thank my husband for giving me love, motivation, courage, and support to discover my creativity. Last, but certainly not least, I thank My Father God who has given me strength and patience to find my path.

" “The Adams want part of our land, but they don’t take care of what they got, so I’ll never sell to them or anyone who doesn’t know the land like we do, Victoria." - Grandpa Ed
"I opened my mouth to tell the truth, and Daddy squeezed my arm painfully. I looked up at his face, and he was looking at me and shaking his head. I got the message and didn’t say a thing. I felt so weak because I knew what he had done and to protect myself, I didn’t tell the truth."
“I don’t know what I did, Uncle P, Mama and Daddy are so mean to me. Everybody hurts me except for Grandpa Paul and my brothers and sister. I don’t understand what I did for them to hurt me like that. I love my Mama and my Daddy but they hate me, Uncle P. I just want to go back to Aunt Charlotte and Aunt Mary so we can go home to Dallas. I’m only seven, and I feel like Mama and Daddy want me to be all grown up. Please, please, help me.” - Victoria
