White Like Her: My Family’s Story of Race and Racial Passing is the story of Gail Lukasik’s mother’s “passing,” Gail’s struggle with the shame of her mother’s choice, and her subsequent journey of self-discovery and redemption. In the historical context of the Jim Crow South, Gail explores her mother’s decision to pass, how she hid her secret even from her own husband, and the price she paid for choosing whiteness. Haunted by her mother’s fear and shame, Gail embarks on a quest to uncover her mother’s racial lineage, tracing her family back to eighteenth-century colonial Louisiana. In coming to terms with her decision to publicly out her mother, Gail changed how she looks at race and heritage. With a foreword written by Kenyatta Berry, host of PBS's Genealogy Roadshow, this unique and fascinating story of coming to terms with oneself breaks down barriers.

I could not put this book down. My own DNA family research has discovered an African ancestor about 5 - 7 generations back, probably to colonial Virginia. I don’t know who this person is, but I hope to find out. I remember stories in my family of Aunts raising nephews as their own, secret adoptions, and mother’s raising another woman’s child as her own. People are so sure they KNOW who they are. NOBODY really knows who they are. Nobody is who they SEEM to be. We all have secrets we don’t even know we have. Gail’s tenacity is courageous. Her book is so well written and reads like the Mystery Novel that it is. Her insights into Race and how to talk about it is instructive. It is SOOO very COMPLICATED. It boils down to, we are all Earthlings, the Human Race, with many different pigments. Why do we have to make it so hard on ourselves?
