hthore 's review for:
The Darkest Child
by Delores Phillips
Dark, but realistic depiction of life during the attempts of desegregation in the South. Tangy Mae is a child who must try to predict the moods and actions of her crazed mother to try to protect herself and her 7 siblings. Her older brothers are trying to fight for equal rights, while her mother keeps on dragging her older sister out to the farmhouse for mysterious night visits. Tangy Mae's goal is to get her diploma, but her mother wants her to get a job to help keep up the household. Delores Phillips tells this story in a way that involves your emotions. You feel the anger, resentment, embarrassment, fear, and sorrow along with the Quinn family.
