Children of Strangers is the powerful and moving novel of love in a community bound by race and class. Famie is a mulatto girl, a half-breed. Her ancestors were free blacks who rivaled the white planters in wealth and culture. But on a Louisiana plantation in the 1920s, Famie is an outcast, rejected by whites because of her black ancestors and unwilling to associate with the sharecroppers who are descendants of slaves.An illicit love affair with a white landowner leaves Famie with a son, Joel, to raise. Her dream is that Joel will someday become accepted into white society. But in her struggle to transcend race and class, Famie must sacrifice the last links to her past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lyle Saxon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1455615420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781455615421\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pelican Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.90d","brand":"Lyle Saxon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986283757823,"sku":"9781455615421","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7850f404-546f-4112-ae83-75a148f375fa.jpg?v=1683282442","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/children-of-strangers-lyle-saxon-9781455615421","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
