TWO KINDS OF COLOR

Deborah Kennedy was born and raised on the Southside of Chicago.  She has worked as a writer for George C. Wolfe, producer and director of the New York Public Theater, and Loretha Jones, (BET), Black Entertainment Television.  Deborah has written several screenplays and is working on a second novel.  She now lives in Las Vegas.

This is the story of a mother’s love and heroic sacrifice for her racially divided children; two of them are white, two of them black, raised in a hustler’s brutal environment on the South Side of Chicago.   It is the story of what it means to have the love, loyalty, and support of a true best friend while trying to survive under the brutal dictatorship of a vain, greedy, and selfish man with no moral code except to make money.  It is about the  making of a family regardless of their being two kinds of color.
