Reviews for Mixed Bloodline

Must read this enlightening and moving story of Leon's life and difficult childhood which is an eye opener on a different level. Most people don't realize the degree of intolerance and hatred that abounded in the 1930s and has continued on for many years. This book helps you to understand the hard place that a biracial child may find themself. The hopeful Christian faith of the author shows us that in spite of hatred and mistreatment, Leon did overcome by the help of his Loving Father.
Amazon reviewer
This book is for anyone who is struggling with self-esteem and self-identity issues living in a racially separated world. I loved the brilliant story how he persevered and became resilient to overcome the social injustices he suffered as a young boy, the precious wisdom found in the Biblical quotations throughout the book, and the author’s deep love for her father. It has given me courage, hope, and inspiration to fight and overcome the obstacles I face in everyday life.

Mixed Bloodline is a concise, well written story about the life of a biracial boy growing up in the South in the 1930's. The book is written by a loving daughter based on stories told by her father, Leon. I marveled at the ingenuity and tenacity Leon showed his entire life to overcome innumerable obstacles to achieve his many successes as a business owner, husband, father and friend. This book is thought provoking, humorous, sad and inspiring. Once I started reading it I had to finish it and would recommend it to everyone.
