Children Of The Waters by Carleen Brice RAW Rating: 4.5 (out of 5) Out of separation bonding may come, but to get to the bonding stage a series of events must take place in order for the circle to be complete. CHILDREN OF THE WATERS by Carleen Brice is an atypical account of two sisters, Trish and Billie, one white, one bi-racial and their journey towards each other. Born to a drug addicted mother and black father, Billie was adopted at birth by a prominent Denver family. Never knowing her parentage, her seemingly complete world is shattered when Trish comes along in search of her younger sister. With a story to tell and hopefulness in her heart, Trish's world is turned upside down when she is forced to deal with the issues of race, religion and abandonment. CHILDREN OF THE WATERS highlights age-old questions of the role of race in our society and what comprises a family. The story reads like an exploration of self as both sisters traverse the loves of their lives and the meaning of family by their definition and that of others. Told in alternating chapters of both protagonists, the dialogue is heartfelt, humorous, witty and grief-filled. The joy and pain celebrated is captured and makes for a perceptive and discerning study of the human condition where love, race, prejudice and religion are combined. CHILDREN OF THE WATERS delves into the heart of the matter- to truly be complete in mind, body and spirit you must first know and understand your source.
