The Color of Love: A Story of a Mixed-Race Jewish Girl

In 1970, three-day-old Marra B. Gad was adopted by a white Jewish family in Chicago. For her parents, it was love at first sightbut they quickly realized the world wasnt ready for a family like theirs. Marras biological mother was unwed, white, and Jewish, and her biological father was black. While still a child, Marra came to realize that she was a mixed-race, Jewish unicorn. In black spaces, she was not black enough or told that it was OK to be Christian or Muslim, but not Jewish. In Jewish spaces, she was mistaken for the help, asked to leave, or worse. Even in her own extended family, racism bubbled to the surface. Marras family cut out those relatives who could not tolerate the color of her skinincluding her once beloved, glamorous, worldly Great-Aunt Nette. After they had been estranged for fifteen years, Marra discovers that Nette has Alzheimers, and that only she is in a position to get Nette back to the only family she has left. Instead of revenge, Marra chooses love, and watches as the disease erases her aunts racism, making space for a relationship that was never possible before.
