God Help the Child

God Help the Child by Toni Morrison, 178 pages
The audio, read by the author, is hypnotic and at times disturbing. Light-skinned Sweetness begins telling the story of how she and her husband saw their relationship fall apart after she gave birth to a very dark-skinned daughter. The child, Lula Ann, grows up knowing that she does not have her mother's love, but not understanding why.
As a successful, but unhappy adult calling herself simply Bride, she must deal with the repercussions of a lie she told in order to win some affection from her mother.
