She marries a local widower and becomes stepmother to his winsome daughter, Snow Whitman. A wicked stepmother is a creature Boy never imagined she'd become, but the birth of Boy's daughter, Bird, who is dark-skinned, exposes the Whitmans as light-skinned African Americans passing for white. Now Boy, Snow, and Bird must confront the tyranny of the mirror to ask how much power surfaces really hold. 650 0 $a Stepmothers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Passing (Identity) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Fairy tales $v Adaptations. 651 0 $a Massachusetts $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 gsafd. 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 1 945 $a cda 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20150408010622.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9A0BFB5EDDB411E48328BAE0DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
