description: In 1956, young Joey, at age seven, finds out his father has just passed away. His mother, at age twenty-nine, is left alone with five young children who range in age from seven years old to one year old. In 1957, a new man comes into their lives. He's kind, gentle and loving. At first Joey doesn't understand why people stare at them and make snide remarks, but he finds out the real truth is because his stepfather is black. He didn't know what color meant. This is the story of a family's thirty-four-year journey of anger and hate between brothers and a sister. It is a journey that ends in bitterness and tragedy.
