Plot Summary of From the Notebooks of Melanin Sun
"Melanin Sun is a teenager who lives with, and has always lived with, his single mother. She's a strong, caring woman and the two have a close relationship - until Melanin discovers that she's dating another woman. He's furious and disgusted and feels betrayed, especially when he discovers his mother's girlfriend is white. In extracts from his notebooks, Melanin shows how he deals with his anger, lives through friction from his friends, and adjusts to his mother's sexuality."
Ivy, Resident Scholar
