Book Blurb: "Black is the colour of death. When the main character receives an unexpected and unconventional visitor, whom she hasn't seen in a while, she gets thrust into the emotional turmoil of coming to terms with the homicide of a loved one. As she navigates this uncharted territory, she highlights conflicts, draws comparisons between current and past events, observes discrimination in media coverage of murders, and finds meaning in the colour black."
Disclaimer: "This story is based on a true homicide. It mentions other homicides. No names have been given. Experiences are personal. The author acknowledges that everyone deals with grief differently. If you have experienced the death of a loved one by homicide, I am sorry you had to go through that. Please do not read this book if it will be too painful for you. This story highlights feelings not normally expressed. The purpose of this story is to exhibit effects of homicide on survivors. To the victims and survivors. You matter. Always in our hearts."
Reader Comments: Original readers of the story, I Remember...The Day I Hated Black, had this to say:
"So sad. I dreamed like this the night before my nephew was murdered. I thought something was wrong with my kids, so I called them from Germany. Everything was okay, so I called my sister next and learned that he had been murdered. To lose someone you love in this way is horrible." ~S
"Oh my God. I can't say anything. Even I have tears in my eyes after reading (about Liberation). That was in Margraten. I saw that on TV too. Huggies." ~K
"It reminds me of when I read about the Sunday school bombing and all the Black kids that died, and I sat there and cried, even though I didn't know them." ~B
