520    An unforgettable memoir about a mixed-race Jewish woman 
       who, after fifteen years of estrangement from her racist 
       great-aunt, helps bring her home when Alzheimer's strikes 
       In 1970, three-day-old Marra B. Gad was adopted by a white
       Jewish family in Chicago. For her parents, it was love at 
       first sight-but they quickly realized the world wasn't 
       ready for a family like theirs. Marra's biological mother 
       was unwed, white, and Jewish, and her biological father 
       was black. While still a child, Marra came to realize that
       she was "a mixed-race, Jewish unicorn." In black spaces, 
       she was not "black enough" or told that it was okay to be 
       Christian or Muslim but not Jewish. In Jewish spaces, she 
       was mistaken for the help, asked to leave, or worse. Even 
       in her own extended family, racism bubbled to the surface.
       Marra's family cut out those relatives who could not 
       tolerate the color of her skin-including her once beloved,
       glamorous, worldly Great-Aunt Nette. After they had been 
       estranged for fifteen years, Marra discovers that Nette 
       has Alzheimer's and that only she is in a position to get 
       Nette back to the only family she has left. Instead of 
       revenge, Marra chooses love and watches as the disease 
       erases her aunt's racism, making space for a relationship 
       that was never possible before. The Color of Love explores
       the idea of yerusha, which means "inheritance" in Yiddish.
       At turns heart-wrenching and heartwarming, this is a story
       about what you inherit from your family-identity, disease,
       melanin, hate, and, most powerful of all, love. With 
       honesty, insight, and warmth, Marra B. Gad has written an 
       inspirational, moving chronicle proving that, when all 
       else is stripped away, love is where we return and love is
       always our greatest inheritance. "A timely and touching 
       memoir of a biracial girl adopted by a Jewish family…Her 
       pursuit to live a life of love in a world of racial, 
       religious, and antifeminist hate and bigotry was a 
       continuous battle toward finding her soul. For a good life
       -affirming read, I highly recommend The Color of Love." 
       "Gad's message about resisting hate is solid… [An] honest
       memoir about looking beyond hate to find some semblance of
       peace on the other side." "With humor, tears, and most of 
       all, searing honesty, Marra Gad takes us inside her 
       world…Her story of choosing grace and generosity in the 
       most unimaginable moments holds lessons for us all." "An 
       astonishing and important story, memorably told, with 
       lessons that reach across race, religion, and culture."
