An anthology of 14 mothers sharing their perspectives of motherhood derived from their personal experiences infused with the colors of womanhood. The dynamism of color is emotive. We evoke emotions, feelings, and thoughts through colors. In this series of vignettes, written by amazing heroines who utilize color to weave an intricate discourse with the reader, we have heard the adage: "Black is beautiful." From Nubian complexions representing the African diaspora, in its vast array of hues, this treatise shows that blackness evokes power, pride, and regalness. The color black is also representative of challenging life lessons and dark mental spaces where prayer and therapy helped to bring illumination. From the color black to the color purple, with its regal innuendos, to the dawning of a new day with yellow and orange hues as the sun rises and sets.-life unfolds on life's terms, as some of the authors grapple with new beginnings, power moves, and agonizing defeats. Whatever the color, a myriad of moods and behaviors are indoctrinated and influenced by COLOR! Different Shades Of A Mother is a profound literary exploration of this color dynamic.
