This story does take place in the 1960s just like the book.

This book contains abuse, foul language, advantage taking, and overall dumb decisions.

This book may have a sad or a happy ending, I have not decided yet.

The word 'Mulatto' is used in the book multiple times to explain the main female character.

Mulatto was and still is sometimes considered a racist word to explain a mixed person with a black descents. The reason it is used in the book is because racism was normalized back then, the word Mulatto wasn't considered as racist as the N-word.

And, yes, the main female character is a mixed girl with black, white, and French descents.
