Publisher Description
We are in Northern Virginia during the late 1960’s and early
1970’s. In some areas races are still divided by a street. Blacks on
one side, whites are on the other. Not all schools are integrated.
Of course there are those who insist on change. Now imagine a
young man is thrown from a cliff side, screaming until he lands on
the rocks below. He is later beaten until he’s unconscious, covered
with leaves and left for dead. NOW IMAGINE THAT HE’S WHITE!!!
Follow Ronald Trent Robey on his journey to answer the question,
Am I Black? Ronnie learns so much about discrimination, and the
differences between whites and blacks. He faced many pitfalls,
but never gave up, and in the end he made a tremendous impact
on everyone who let him into their lives. Heartfelt and inspiring,
author Greg Robinson delivers a touching look into race relations,
and reminds us the great value of every person regardless of the
things that divide us.

Amazing
This book was great! I never wanted to put it down.. It reminds myself of some of the things I have dealt with! The main character keeps u wondering what's gonna happen to him next!! An overall amazing read! "no one can go back and start a new beginning but anyone can start today and make a new ending!"
Fantastic!
This was a very adventure packed book! I found myself not being able to put it down! I couldnt wait to see what these two characters got themselves into next! I found it to actually have a very blurred color line, less about race and more about a young man looking for the normalcy of a united family unlike the one he comes from. I wish it came in Audiobook.
Awesome read !
This book is really great ....not only a book about race relations in the 70s...but a lovely book about an enduring friendship ! Loved it.
