Today, I will share the first chapter of the novel, The Blossoming Universe of Violet Diamond, by Brenda Woods. Violet is biracial, meaning she is African American on her dad's side of the family, and Caucasian (white) on her mom's side. But Violet doesn't know much about her African American heritage, and now that she's 11, she wants to find out more about who she is. What she learns about her family, her heritage, and herself helps her to blossom...
If you like her writing, go to Brenda Woods' website to see her other books, including the amazing My Name Is Sally Little Song, which is about a slave family who escape to freedom with the help of the Seminole Indian tribe here in Florida!
