Marra B. Gad-The Color of Love
In 1970, three-day-old Marra B. Gad was adopted by a white Jewish family in Chicago. Marra's biological mother was unwed, white, and Jewish, and her biological father was black. Marra will share her story of growing up as "a mixed-race, Jewish unicorn."
At turns heart-wrenching and heartwarming, this is a story about what you inherit from your family-identity, disease, melanin, hate, and most powerful of all, love.
With honesty, insight, and warmth, Marra will tell her inspirational, moving tale proving that when all else is stripped away, love is where we return, and love is always our greatest inheritance.
Arrangements for Marra Gad were through the Jewish Book Council that serves to promotes the reading, writing, publication, distribution, and public awareness of books that reflect the rich variety of the Jewish experience.
