A Blind Eye - E-book - ePub

Babe thought he had done all the right things.  He works a respectable job, owns his own home, pays his taxes, and throws jury duty summonses in the trash just like every other fellow American.  He even stays faithful to his promiscuous boyfriend. But even through all of the right things, he is unsatisfied with his life. Chance, an Eminem wannabe, drops his pants low and listens to hip hop to show his alliance with Black culture, but Babe has to learn to accept him as more than the "W" word: a wigger. Alise and her special-needs son, Rueben, have been evicted and reduced to living in a car when her husband runs out on them.  They now have to rebuild their lives after losing all their earthly possessions. Babe finds that Alise and Chance may represent an opportunity for a fresh start as they navigate the intricacies of race relations, working class disillusionment, and mental health.
