My Colorblind Rainbow: 2020 Pride Special Edition

by Chanel Hardy

Overview

This 2020 Pride Special Edition features a brand new vibrant cover and inspiring quotes from LGBTQA artists and activists of the past and present!

Darlene Jones is a fifteen-year-old African-American teenage girl living in Durham, North Carolina in 1940. She has an ordinary life, but things quickly become complicated as her sexual identity comes into question when she meets another girl, a nineteen-year-old rich girl named Rose who isn't like any girl Darlene's ever met before. Featured on the 2018 In The Margins Book Awards Long List, My Colorblind Rainbow is a coming-of-age story that explores adolescent love and nonconformity, as these girls struggle with racial tension in the south. Their bond not only threatens their own lives, but friendships, and the relationships with their families along the way.

Born and raised in the Washington D.C. area, writing has been a passion of mine since I was young. I started writing my first book, 'My Colorblind Rainbow' in 2013. In 2017, I decided to continue writing, taking a leap of faith and following my dreams of publishing my first book which made the 'In The Margins Award Long List' for YA fiction in 2018. I launched Hardy Publications in September of 2017, working as a freelance writer and literary blogger. I've written for publications such as Women and Words, 25 Hottest Indie Authors Artists Advocates 2020, and CulEpi.
