Gabrielle has always had a complicated relationship with her mother Tallulah, one marked by intimacy and resilience in the face of a volatile patriarch. Everything in their home has been bleached a cold white -- from the cupboards filled with sheets and crockery to the food and spices Tallulah cooks with. Even Gabrielle, who inherited the ability to change the color of her skin from her mother, is told to pass into white if she doesn't want to upset her father. But this vital mother-daughter bond implodes when Tallulah is hospitalized for a mental health crisis. Separated from her mother for the first time in her life, Gabrielle must learn to control the temperamental shifts in her color on her own. Meanwhile, Gabrielle is spending a year after high school focusing on her piano lessons, an extracurricular her father is sure will make her a more appealing candidate for pre med programs. Her instructor, a queer, dark-skinned woman named Dominique, seems to encapsulate everything Gabrielle is missing in her life -- creativity, confidence, and perhaps most importantly, a nurturing sense of love. Following a young woman looking for a world beyond her family's carefully -coded existence, Notes on Her Color is a lushly written and haunting tale that shows how love, in its best sense, can be a liberating force from destructive origins." -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African American women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Passing (Identity) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Human skin color $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Magic realist fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 10 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409044352.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20231205011257.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20231003011400.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20230819010146.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230808011343.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230804010130.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230802012735.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230802011111.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230706010526.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230701010050.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A1E9A79C09AF11EE8B9D6CAF47ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
