Reviews:
No one likes to be labeled as different; yet, Rosemarie Delrio was, for a reason over which she had no control, inasmuch as her parents came from different racial backgrounds. If living with such difference is difficult today, imagine what it must have been in 1953! Jeanette Cooper beautifully depicts the period, with all its nuances, to show how Rosemarie found peace with herself and her place in society. Wall of Color is a story that will touch you to the heart.

All my life, I think I've had a distrust of anyone with skin that is a different color than my own. However, reading Wall of Color changed me. The book gave me a startling glance into the life and soul of a young biracial girl whose pain was sometimes so intense over the discriminatory remarks toward her that my views and perceptions have totally changed. It is truly a classic and a book well worth anyone reading.
