THE STORY: What's a black girl from sunny Southern California to do? White people are blowing up black girls in Birmingham churches. Black people are shouting Black is beautiful while straightening their hair and coveting light skin. Viveca Stanton's answer: Slap on a bubbly smile and be as white as you can be! In a humorous and pointed coming-of-age story spanning the sixties through the nineties, Viveca blithely sails through the confusing worlds of racism, sexism and Broadway showbiz until she's forced to face the devastating effect self-denial has had on her life.Kirsten Childs is the author of 'The Bubbly Black Girl Sheds Her Chameleon Skin - Acting Edition', published 2003 under ISBN 9780822218791 and ISBN 0822218798.
