"Greogory and Mike were two white kids with not a worry in life until their alcoholic father beat their mother one time too many.
She left the kids with their father and fled scared for her life. After their father's business diminished, they had to move to Munchie, Indiana and learn the horrid truth of their lives, they were now known as "colored" in white skin.
The father that they had been led to belive was Italian, was really a black man that crossed over trying to make a better life for himself and his children." amazon
Told from the older boy's perspective in the 1950s and 60s.
Good book.
