Publisher's Synopsis
Years ago when people would put advertisements in the newspaper they would advertise, LIGHT NEGRO OR WHITE NEED ONLY APPLY. They didn t want a "Dark Skinned" black person in their home. But Matthew Marsh persevered, and though she started out in life with nothing and nobody, Matthew finished by preparing dinners for President and Mrs. Reagan in their California home. Despite encountering hard times, despair and racial prejudice, Matthew found the one person who had the answers to all her questions God. When times changed, Matthew was happy and proud to say, I am called an African American, now.
