The Darkest Child |
The book "The Darkest Child" is a wonderful book to read. It tells of a mother struggling to love her kids while trying to find a mental state of mind. She is not a normal mother, in fact I dont even think that you can consider her a mother. She is out of this world crazy, she has nine kids and decides to seperate them by different racs, she calls him her little white kids, indians, and her negroes. And to make matters worst she forces her female kids to go into serious things that are both damaging for their mental health and reputation as well. The idea that there was nothing able to save these kids makes a reader want to cry. The children are torn between running away from their mother and sticking by her side like a true child. The story is told through the eyes of the of one of the "negro" child and her story is both riveting and sentimental. --Maxandra, ETHS Books 'R Us Book Club |
