Little Black Girl Lost (2015)
“Wearing a white bathing suit that showed off her tight body, Marguerite was lying on a cushioned lawn chair by the pool at the Savoy, thinking about Johnnie’s beautiful home. Johnnie’s house was located in an affluent colored neighborhood, replete with professionals of every genre. Their money notwithstanding, they were just like the poor coloreds where she lived. According to Sadie, the husbands were hardworking men who provided for their families, and their wives were church-going hypocrites ...who gave them hell every night then wondered why they ran around on them. Yet, somehow they thought they were superior to the coloreds who weren’t professionals. Some of the marriages were healthy, but none were without problems.
In spite of how she felt about the arrogant Negroes who lived in Ashland Estates, Marguerite would much rather live there than her Sable Parish neighborhood.
Why didn’t I demand more from my lovers? I was just as pretty as she was when I was her age, yet I have nothing to show for it except an old broken down house in a neighborhood where I’m not accepted.MoreLess
