About the Book:

Diamond Pearl Hope had a hard childhood. Her mother, a black woman, dies when Diamond is only ten-years old, and she knows nothing of her father, except that he is white. With nowhere else to go, Diamond moved in with her grandparents. But even in her own family, Diamond was discriminated against for being of mixed race. She did not stay with them for long, however, and after a tragic turn of events, she was put up for adoption.

When she is adopted by a wonderful couple, Diamond’s hard times seem to be over. But after marrying an older man who ends up abusing her, she is arrested for assaulting him and comes face-to-face with a man she never thought she’d meet.
