Color Me Grey

by Michelle Janine Robinson

Color Me Grey dares to ask two startling questions: “What would you do if you had everything you ever wanted and found out the person you trusted most was trying to steal it all from you?” And, “what if two sexual encounters left you with two separate babies—twins—from two different fathers; one obviously black and one obviously white?” While it is a fictional account, it also provides a rare opportunity to peek inside of a rare but true medical occurrence; the fact that two percent of fraternal twins that are born each year are born to one mother—AND TWO DIFFERENT FATHERS.

Beautiful mahogany-skinned Bridget Grey finds herself locked in a vicious nightmare when she becomes pregnant. Despite the fact that her husband is black, she gives birth to twins—a girl named Jasmine, dark-skinned with dark hair and eyes, and blond-haired, blue-eyed Jacob.

In an attempt to piece together the remnants of her life, Bridget discovers a trail of betrayal that started when she was a young child living at a group home—a trail that starts and ends with Jade Smith. With Jade holding secrets over Bridget’s head, Bridget’s back is against the wall, leaving her feeling utterly hopeless.

This was such a great read! I still go back to read every so often.

The cover is HOT but the book is NOT for me. I read the first 20 pages, skimmed to page 200 something and then what made it interesting is the medical phenomena about having fraternal twins, one white and black, due to Stephen impregnating her and rapist's baby. Not sure, why she did not want to press charges and go after this person if he raped her??? I skipped reading the book after that part.

I could not get into some of the characters and scenes in the beginning of the book...next book to read.

I don't know why I am disappointed by this book but I am, well really I do know it's because for once I wanted to pick up a book and not be able to finish the story in my mind before the 2nd chapter! Well I actually knew in the first chapter! Sorry but this is the same story over and over with just some new charecters and a diffrent time and day!

Wow a author I took a chance on! I was impress the story line reeled me in from the first few pages. Bridget was determine to beat the odds despite the all the curve balls that was thrown her way. Well written and yes I say read it you'll enjoy. Some of the plots will surprise you and keep you wanting more.
