Her mother was African American, and her mother's husband was white. At an already trying time, this family took on the challenge of breaking the race barriers and became a blended family. It was a life of fun--camping, swimming, summer vacationing on the ocean--having two definitely different families. Her mom was a Washingtonian and a Christian, her stepdad was raised as a Mormon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir differences never stopped them from spending holidays, weekends, and vacations in the Volkswagen together as one--everyone loving one another and knowing no difference in the black-and-white skin tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCould love conquer the hatred and discourse that was prominent and seething throughout not only this city but also the entire country?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThings went well for a while for this family.

The family was forced to divide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer mom and the kids were forced into poverty.
