What other had to say about the book

Praise for Color Me Jazzmyne
“I am usually not speechless after finishing a book. After reading
Color Me Jazzmyne by Marian L. Thomas, I can say that I am….
Color Me Jazzmyne is a touching story of a woman overcoming the
wrong that was committed against her. Each chapter of this book
gives readers a different section of who Jazzmyne is and who she
wanted to forget she was.”
                            -Teresa Beasley, APOOO Book Club

“This book is one of the most poignant stories I have ever read. The
young heroine, Naya Mona, is a strong presence that has endured far
more than any normal child has, and experienced unspeakable abuses,
and yet, surfaces and faces her fears by clinging to the one steady and
true love in her life- music.”
-Sally Shields, Bestselling author of
                                    The Daughter-in-Law Rules 

Praise for My Father’s Colors
“My Father’s Colors is a thoughtful read, highly recommended.”
                                      -Midwest Book Review
 

“This book is guaranteed to touch every emotion within you! While it
is a story of a one woman’s journey to define the colors in her crayon
box, it could have easily been any woman’s story.”
                          -Darling Swan, Sistah Girl Reading Club

Excerpt:

Prologue

The two best friends sat on the bank of the only lake

that ran through Jackson County. One was a slightly

tall, raging thin-framed girl with two long braids that

hung on either side of her head. Full olive skin

wrapped every inch of her body. Her tiny freckles, sporadically

placed, highlighted her green eyes and pointed nose. Her

mother was a short woman who moved to Jackson

County from Virginia with her parents, when she was 15

and a half years old. She had found herself a tall country

boy, and they had a small and swaddled country girl, if there

ever was such a thing. They named her—Haley.

The other one was a smart, somewhat sassy, almond-skinned

girl with eyes so blue they spun a rare color of aqua in the

sunlight. Her long, thick hair and curvy frame completed the

look. Her father was a slender man with brown wavy hair and

green eyes. He was born in Chicago, but when he couldn’t find

work after entering his adult years, he moved to the farm life of

Jackson County, just outside of Knoxville, Tennessee, in 1955.
