TC Tidbit: Carleen Brice's Recommended Reading About The Mixed-Race Experience

Carleen Brice is a hometown woman for us here in Denver, as well as a former bookseller at Tattered Cover.  However, most of you will recognize her in her as the best selling author of the novels Orange Mint and Honey and Children of the Waters.

The Lifetime Movie "Sins of the Mother" based on Orange Mint and Honey won the 2011 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding TV Movie.

She also wrote Lead Me Home: An African American’s Guide Through the Grief Journey, Walk Tall: Affirmations for People of Color and edited the anthology Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number: Black Women Explore Midlife .  She is currently working on her third novel, Every Good Wish.

She created a wonderful recommendations list for indiebound.org of books that speak to the mixed-race experience, and is allowing us to share it HERE.
