American Ace (2015)
“He tried to stand, but something happened: He got his foot caught between chair leg and table leg, I guess.
Anyway, he fell suddenly in a heap, with a loud OOF! Jake and I helped him up and sat him down again. He was so pale, his sideburns and eyebrows looked black again.
My father may have been a colored man?!
We could see the book again the following week, with new questions. For now, we shook Jake’s hand and thanked him. Then we hiked across the quad.
When we got to the van, Dad was panting.
Talk about “lost in thought.” I turned the key and pulled into traffic unconsciously, my mind going a hundred directions of what-ifs and this means. The first what-if was what if this is just a red herring?
What if Forcean’s really something else, and the Wilberforce yearbook is irrelevant?
My second what-if was what if it’s right, and Nonna’s love was African American?
