Ivory Babies (English Edition)

Scandal and cover up take place in a small Southern town when black mothers give birth to children that are Caucasian in appearance. The town’s secret appears to be safe until Grandma Sissie, who is dying of cancer, feels compelled to expose the truth. Would anyone believe an old, feeble woman delirious in pain from cancer, or would her story appear to be just another tale? Insisting that she is of sound mind, Grandma Sissie refuses to be silenced. Calling her grandchildren to her bedside, she tells a story that neither blacks nor whites in Fair Haven will speak of openly, the truth about the ivory babies.
