A Color of Love follows the lives of John and Harriet starting from high school through old age. One would think there might be a lot of material covered in the book. Not! This book ended up being nothing more than a quick summary of a relationship as "read" by the author to the reader. It was one of the worst stories I've read thusfar. There was nothing there to maintain this reader's interest.The story starts out with two people residing in the South who fall in love, but happen to be of different races. Like I said before, the author rushes through what should be a story, so there is no real story. If there is no substance, how can there be a climactic moment? Get my point?One wouldn't even want to bother with this one. If I could rate it lower than the number 1, I would.
