Reviews
Praise for The Darkest Child "Filled with grand plot events and clearly identifiable villains and victims . . . lush with detail and captivating with its story of racial tension and family violence." -- The Washington Post Book World " The Darkest Child is an exceptional debut from a most talented writer. Epic in scope, intimate in tone, it is sure to find a special place in the deepest crevices of your heart." --Edwidge Danticat "[An] exceptional debut novel . . . [Has] a depth and dimension not often characteristic of a first novel." -- Library Journal , Starred Review "Bold memorable characters and enough drama to keep you up all night wondering what can possibly happen next." -- The Black Book Review "Evil's regenerative powers and one girl's fierce resistance . . . A book that deserves a wide audience." -- The Cleveland Plain Dealer "Horrific and gripping." -- Philadelphia Inquirer "Heart-rending." -- Dallas Morning News "Extraordinary . . . Delores Phillips delivers a narrative with the kind of brutal force that renders the reader breathless . . . A commanding piece of work that will undoubtedly assume a place within a well-established literary tradition, and will place Phillips among a selective group of writers whose abilities as literary artists inspire and encourage conversation and creativity." -- Noir! African American Book Review "Phillips writes with a no-nonsense elegance . . . As a vision of African-American life, The Darkest Child is one of the harshest novels to arrive in many years . . . [Phillips] buttresses those harsh episodes with a depth of characterization worthy of Chekhov, pitch-perfect dialogue, and a profound knowledge of the segregated South in the '50s." -- The New Leader From the Hardcover edition., Praise for The Darkest Child Winner of the Black Caucus of the ALA Award Nominee for the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award "Filled with grand plot events and clearly identifiable villains and victims . . . lush with detail and captivating with its story of racial tension and family violence." -- The Washington Post Book World " The Darkest Child is an exceptional debut from a most talented writer.

Tangy Mae, she's decided, is come of age., Rozelle Quinn is so fair-skinned that she can pass for white. Her ten children are mostly light too. They constitute the only world she rules and controls. Her power over them is all she has in an otherwise cruel and uncaring world. Rozelle favours her light-skinned kids, but Tangy Mae, her darkest skinned child, is the brightest and desperately wants to continue her education. Her mother, however, wants her daughter to work cleaning houses for whites and accompany her to the farmhouse' where Rozelle beds men for extra money. Tangy Mae, she's decided, is come of age.', Pakersfield, Georgia, 1958: Thirteen-year-old Tangy Mae Quinn is the sixth of ten fatherless siblings. She is the darkest-skinned among them and therefore the ugliest in her mother, Rozelle's, estimation, but she's also the brightest. Rozelle--beautiful, charismatic, and light-skinned--exercises a violent hold over her children. Fearing abandonment, she pulls them from school at the age of twelve and sends them to earn their keep for the household, whether in domestic service, in the fields, or at "the farmhouse" on the edge of town, where Rozelle beds local men for money. But Tangy Mae has been selected to be part of the first integrated class at a nearby white high school. She has a chance to change her life, but can she break from Rozelle's grasp without ruinous--even fatal--consequences?
