Mixed Blessings

This work of fiction tells the story of four women, Kimberly Solberg, Chaka Khoury Jackson, Marie Ann Sakamoto and Hoshiko "Star" Mathews and the men they love living in a world where skin color matters. In this multicultural world racial bigotry has made prejudice all too common place. This confluence of loving relationships, racial hatred, murderous acts and mass hysteria is a backdrop for this story about race, riots, politics and religion.

Mixed Blessings. Is Race Real? is a Los Angeles story that observes the cultural nuances and differences that make people different but yet the same. J.M. Muse uses the backdrop of the upcoming 10-year U.S. Census to show how people of different cultures and the government see racial identity and give it power.

This is a thought provoking, intense and well written tale. Perfect for people interested in different cultures and the future of mixed-race America.
