- The Help
Miss Taylor says kids that are colored can't go to my school cause they're not smart enough. I come round the counter, then lifted her chin up and smooth back her funny-looking hair. "You think I'm dumb?" "No," she whispers hard, like she means it so much. She looked sorry and apologizes.

- The Scorpio Races
Corr, red as the sunset, looks out to the ocean. The shore faces east and he looks out to night, deep blue and then black, the sky and the water mirror images. Our shadows fall into the ocean, too, changing colors with the breakers and foam beneath them. When I look at Corr's shadow, I see an elegant giant. When I look to mine, for the first time, I see my father's shadow.
