"Color Blind The Color of Love",
By Brittany Crawford (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Color Blind : The Color of Love (Paperback)
"Color Blind" is the story of Eli Jones, a black man who is a farmer during the Great Depression in Rual Oklahoma. Eli does not have any incentive for getting up in the morning since his wife and young son died of illness. All this changes when Eli finds a basket with a white baby inside late one night. He takes on the task of raising the youngster when no one else claims him. Tobey, as the boy is called, brings Eli a sense of companionship, happiness, and love. Eli and Tobey remain loyal to each other throughout the years dispite all the prejudice others display toward them. Sammy Weygand's "Color Blind" is definitely a book you will read time and time again for generations to come.

Color Blind,
By Yuvonne Fipps (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Color Blind : The Color of Love (Paperback)
This is a "MUST READ" book. I highly encourage everyone to read this book, even if you are a non-reader. This book totally surprised me, as I was not expecting all the emotions that it touched in me. I felt as if I personally knew these characters. Mr. Weygand writes in a unique way compared to the way most writers of today write. He writes his story in ways that you will personally get to know these people. I will always remember them and the book. I hope to read more from this author. I would like to see more on this endearing family.

Color Blind: The Color of Love,
By Paula R Etter (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Color Blind : The Color of Love (Paperback)
Color Blind is a story that will touch hearts and warm souls. This book tells a story in an original perspective, one where a black man in a desperate moment after the loss of his wife and child, finds a baby on his doorstep. The baby happens to be a white baby in a small Oklahoma town in the 1930s. Unable to find the parents and with the support of the sheriff, this man raises the child as his own. The story tells the trials and tribulations of raising a child during that period of time and how the color of skin played a part in the lives of these two people and how love overcame it all. It is refreshing to read a book that can strike so many emotions as it is read. This book is a must for readers that are looking for a special story.
