Color Struck received the
Flamingnet Top Choice Award
July 28, 2011!
"I wish I could've read Color
Struck by a fireplace because you escape right into the book when
"listening" to Grandma Bell tell her story. This was one of the most
emotionally-charged books I've read."
(Urban Reviews)
"The Tucks have brought a story of
healing and forgiving. I recommend this book for young adults. They will
get to learn a little of how African Americans struggled within their
own community. And see how far we have come and hopefully not repeat the
same mistakes."

AS FAST AS WORDS COULD FLY
Book Summary: Fourteen-year-old Mason Steele takes pride in turning his Pa's excited ramblings about the latest civil rights incidents into handwritten business letters. One day Pa brings Mason a gift from his civil rights group: an old manual typewriter that Mason cherishes.
When the civil rights group wins a school desegregation case, Mason discovers that he will attend a formerly all-white high school. Facing his fears and adversity from students and faculty, Mason excels in school -- particularly typing. Mason decides to bravely take a stand at the county typing tournament, using his typing talent to break racial barriers.
This story is based on the life of Pamela's father, Moses Teel, Jr.
