Gail’s Amazing Book
Gail never broke her promise to her mother. She never told anyone about her secret while she was alive. Alvera passed away in 2014 and then Gail decided to write a book about her mother named “White Like Her: My Family’s Story of Race and Racial Passing.”
Gail wrote about everything, including how her mother struggled to keep her race a secret her entire life. Her other family members could hardly bring themselves to believe it. Is it really possible to judge someone’s decisions when they’ve been made in the name of love?
