{"product_id":"skin-deep","title":"SKIN DEEP","description":"Growing up poor and black in colonial Trinidad where being white or light-skinned was a passport to privilege and an easier life, Ham Granville overcame the slings and arrows of his dual misfortune and is now a prominent lawyer. Ham has done everything in his power to protect his son Ricky from being treated like a second-class citizen in his own country. He is not pleased when he discovers that Ricky is involved with Odette Fitzroy, a creole from an impoverished family. Nor are the Fitzroys, but their opposition is muted because blacks are being empowered and whites know that things will never be the same. To put an end to this unsuitable liaison Ham sends Ricky abroad. His decision produces unforeseen consequences. Ricky is forced into a marriage of convenience and resents being married to the wrong woman. Ham's wife Angela fears that his beloved granddaughter may not have one drop of Granville blood in her veins. Meanwhile, the grandson Ham never knew is being raised by a benevolent and wealthy stranger whose wife knows he is leading a double life.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0992025036\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0992025036.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Nicholls, Joyce\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
