Book excerpt: Growing up in the still segregated South, Wanda early on had her outlook Colored Cold. The daughter of an unfaithful undertaker, she had to pass the house of Miss Kathleen, her father's mistress, on her way to school, whose children shouted taunts, even the tobacco-chewing toddler Tilly. When her Arkansas town enforced integration, white reporters came to her home to interview her mama, who had bravely kept her children in school. Mama spoke her mind in perfect English and didn't put up with people mistreating her family. Mistreatment from Daddy was another matter. Neglect and callousness from this relationship continued the chill that froze Wanda's future relationships. Colored Cold gives a chilling account of poverty, abuse, and compounded consequences from poor choices. Although most of her wisdom came through difficult experiences, Wanda refused to succumb and strengthened her resolve. This revealing autobiography shares one woman's heartache from broken promises and painful relationships.
