I have really mixed feelings about this one. I really liked the story of the book women. The problem with the addition of the blue people, is that it seemed like the author was really trying hard to equate a white person with a blood condition making them turn blue to the racism experienced by Black people in this country, especially in the 30's. I'm not saying that I disbelieve that people would treat the blue people poorly or they didn't experience terrible treatment, but it's not equivalent.

I really enjoyed the read. I enjoyed even more having the blue people of Kentucky brought to my attn to research n learn about. What an obscure piece of history the author brought to life.
Dear Author,
Relating a medical condition which changes skin tone IS NOT equal to the systemic racism BIPOC have been facing for hundreds of years.
What the duck.
