When the seventh child of the Peace family, named Perfect, turns eight, her mother Emma Jean tells her bewildered daughter, "You was born a boy. I made you a girl. But that ain't what you was supposed to be. So, from now on, you gon' be a boy." From this point forward, his life becomes a bizarre kaleidoscope of events. Meanwhile, the Peace family is forced to question everything they thought they knew about gender, sexuality, unconditional love, and fulfillment.… (plus d'informations)
This book is so goddamn good. I could not put the book down. I kept reading to see what emma jean's crazy ass would do next. It definitely shows how Arkansas in the 30s-40s was like for black american people. I felt so bad for perfect & paul and his brothers.They were a family full of gifts and talents. A blessing in each child. Unfortunately in a lot of black families the trauma of our ancestors and family deeply damages us. If EJ had simply went to her mother when her sister asked the first time the book would have much shorter. The pain of torment, assault, confusion, self hate, colorism, and so much love was incredible. Many of the characters simply wanted to be loved. For who they were or weren't. But ugliness and blackness just couldn't let that be. I think all the boys would get married and have kids beside M and RJ maybe they would adopt if they wanted kids. And they would have a bunch of girls who look as beautiful as EJ.Paul and ella mae should be together as his tailor and fashion design thing set off. Or they could find each other partners to make them happy if they aren't enough for each other. Gus could remarry or simply die a happy man knowing her did the best he could by EJ and the boys. Perfect peace touched me just as Golden boy, When the heart is a home, and others like it had. I am so grateful for the blessings I have and the pain i have overcome. ( )
