Gail Finally Understands the True Reason
After so much effort and hard work, Gail had finally uncovered the truth behind her mother’s secret. She felt enormous relief to have finally come to the end of the road. Now she could relax. She was glad to have found this out before it was too late!
She said, “I know my mother wanted a better life for herself. And for her, this meant being viewed as a white person. It would open up more employment opportunities and enable her acceptance in society in general. In order to do that, she had to turn her back on her mixed-race heritage as well as leave her family behind. It was a big sacrifice. She could never live out her true authentic self.”
