July 15, 1968. It is only three months following the assassination
of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the nation is burning. Black and
White America are locked in the tense grip of massive change. Into
this inferno steps an unsuspecting young White couple. Neither had
truly known even a single African American person while growing up.
Now, a child will change all of that forever. In this fateful
moment, a Black baby becomes perhaps the first in the history of
New Mexico to be adopted by a White family. Here is a brazenly
honest glimpse into the mind and heart of that child, a true story
for the ages that flows like a soulful river-separated from his
mother at birth, placed into foster care, adopted, and finally
reunited with his biological family in adulthood-an astounding
journey of personal discovery. Jaiya John has opened the floodgates
on his own childhood with this piercing memoir. Black Baby White
Hands, a waterfall of jazz splashing over the rocks of love, pain
and the honoring of family. Magically, this book finds a way to
sing as it cries, and to exude compassion even as it dispels
well-entrenched myths. Destined to become a classic, this stirring
account is sure to find itself well worn, stained by tears, and
brushed by laughter in the lap of parents, adolescents, educators,
students, and professionals. Here comes the rain and the sunshine,
all at once.
