-
native American woman.
-
There is a native American child who's adopted,
-
forcibly, in the forcible adoptions, by a white family.
-
I think this is how the story goes.
-
And, eventually, after the Indian family tries to get
-
that child back, it is discovered that the adoptive
-
mother was, in fact, a member of that tribe by a
-
very diluted blood line.
-
And the adoptive mother marries the child's full-blood grandfather:
-
perfect, perfect comic ending for an Identity Plot novel.
-
I would say that The Bluest Eye is our tragic version of this,
-
where Pecola will never be at peace.
