Title: A book to remember
Product review: The Sweeter the Juice made me realize that not all famlies are not perfect, especially when dealing with the issue of race. I read this book from cover to cover and then I read it again.The author writes matter of factly about the history of her family whose color line spans black, white and in between. It is a book you shed no tears over even though you feel grief for a family parted by racial intolerence; rather you feel elated that the story is being told at all because such a history was often a hidden history.Thumbs up to Shirlee Taylor Haizlip, she has written a real eye opener, especially with reference to the first US President George Washington. His uncle fathered a son by a slave woman who in turn became the founder of Shirlee Taylor Haizlip's maternal family. History is every colour under the sun, even the history of presidents.
