Born from a white Mother and black Father, Mary remembers and shares her feelings of what it was like growing up in 1950's Britain, as a mixed race child. She battles with overt racism from both black and white as she tries to settle into a predominantly white society; never quite belonging there.

Mary recalls fond memories of her childhood with the love and affection of her adored Grand Mother, who raised her from a baby, as well as the painful ones.

Will she defend and embrace her black side, or will she try to become as culturally white as she can.? Just what colour does she want to be................?
