Black Issues Book Review
Mona Lee’s latest contribution to sci-fi strives toward the noble goal of addressing the social inequalities prevalent in today’s world. Readers are introduced to Wella De Gordnia, a racially mixed alien placed on a remote island. Wella’s spaceship drops her off in the political turbulence of the ’60s against the backdrop of the Vietnam War peace protests. Her mission is to experience childbirth and to find loving parents to adopt her part-human child. The aliens want to study the effects of their peaceful, telepathic minds on human beings clinging tenaciously to self-annihilation.Book Details
