Blessed in Africa to a Nigerian princess, Precious Williams was less than twelve months old when her mom put an advertisement in Nursery World: "Pretty Nigerian baby lady needs new home." Precious's mom had flown to London searching for a fresh life - a life in which there was no space for a princess. The first response emerged rom a 60-year-old white woman, Nan, who prided herself to be "color blind." Correspondence were exchanged, no questions asked, and Precious remaining her mom for Nan's home in rural Great britain. Nan may have been color blind, but others in their small town weren't. Precious grew up in an completely white household, joining all-white institutions, where she remained for her complete childhood. She was taunted by her peers and misunderstood by Nan. Precious's mom sometimes made fleeting, marvelous visits until she was nine, but would often critisize her to be "too white." Finding it impossible to relate to any family members - biological or surragoate - she became disillusioned and self-destructive. She retreated to her thoughts, forging an individuality from personas she'd seen on TV, in movies, and find out about in books. Color Blind is a robust coming-of-age memoir checking out styles of motherhood and competition.
