Born to a black father and white Jewish mother, Marra Gad was adopted by a white Jewish family, facing racism in black spaces and rejection in Jewish ones.
The Color of Love
Biographies & Memoirs
Our take
Born to a black father and white Jewish mother, Marra Gad was adopted by a white Jewish family, facing racism in black spaces and rejection in Jewish ones.

About the book
Marra B. Gad was born to a black father and a white Jewish mother in 1970 and adopted by a white Jewish family in Chicago. For her parents, it was love at first sight—but for the world, their family was anything but acceptable.
In black spaces, Marra was deemed “not black enough” and faced antisemitism. In Jewish spaces, she was mistaken for the help or told to leave. Even within her own family, racism loomed large, forcing her parents to sever ties with relatives who couldn’t accept her—including Marra’s once-beloved Great-Aunt Nette.
Years later, estranged and battling Alzheimer’s, Nette needed Marra’s help. Instead of revenge, Marra chose love, forging a bond as the disease erased her aunt’s prejudice. This powerful memoir is a testament to forgiveness, resilience, and choosing love in the face of hate.

About the book
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
In the far future, humans have colonized a distant planet, home to the enigmatic Ariekei, sentient beings famed for a language unique in the universe, one that only a few altered human ambassadors can speak. Avice Benner Cho, a human colonist, has returned to Embassytown after years of deep-space adventure. She cannot speak the Ariekei tongue, but she is an indelible part of it, having long ago been made a figure of speech, a living simile in their language. When distant political machinations deliver a new ambassador to Arieka, the fragile equilibrium between humans and aliens is violently upset. Catastrophe looms, and Avice is torn between competing loyalties: to a husband she no longer loves, to a system she no longer trusts, and to her place in a language she cannot speak—but which speaks through her, whether she likes it or not.
