Color me Dark

Dear Ms. I for some reason I have lost my book Flush. So I have read a differrent book called Color Me Dark.

Title: Color Me Dark

Author: Patricia C. McKissack

Hours:2

Pages:98

This is a true story about a girl named Nellie Lee growing up in the south in 1919. The funny thing is that she is so light skinned that people think she in white. Whenever someone comes up to her and asks if she is white she says "No, color me dark" she doesn't belives that being lighter skin is better than dark skin. She sees that the south turns their back on her when they find out that she is not white and now Nellie Lee is trying to live a life that isn't so painful.
