A New and INTERESTING Way To Learn History!

This book was very interesting and allowed me to enjoy history... I did not think I would find a book about history that I could actually enjoy... Millie you have proved me wrong and I thank you for that... Got any more stories about your past??? If so e-mail me this young person is interested! You have led an interesting life and you are soo very loved by many... I'm probably one of your biggest fans and I know you will be getting that alot... But whether you believe me or not I know in my heart it is true... I too want to join in the line of erasing the colored line because it pains me to look around and see how many outcast people due to race... my dad is one of them and I totally hate it! I LOVE PEOPLE and I hope that people love me for my heart and soul not for what color I am because God made us all in his Image... We are all children of God... Love and Christ, Just another person in this world tryin to make a difference!

Secrets Uncoverd/A review by Linda Dearborn

The author tells her story in a fashion that is somewhat ubelievable, but in my opinion if you can see beyond the ordinary you will find this book very , very interesting. Knowing how J. Edgar Hoover was, it is more than reasonable that he was passing for white.. Her account of her family history as told her by her Grandfather was beautifully portrayed as her travels to her past came about. Her eventual trip back to her home town, and the work that was done by the Heritage Consultant firm has given me the incentive to trace my family heritage.

Thank God Someone told this story!

I have lived for more than forty-five years with my own secret, and Secrets Uncovered put me at peace in revealing and dealing with my own ancestry. My mother is white, and after my father's death as a teenager, I went on to pass for white. I never had children for fear my secret would be found, and have always felt guilty about this. But now I can at last come forward with pride, and let the world know of my own mixed bloodline. Your book also shed new light on a different side of the slave/master relationship, and it was tender to hear of the love between Master Hoover and your Great Grandmother. Thank you for sharing this story, and also thank you for shedding light on the true ancestry of J. Edgar Hoover. Now many things are more clear about his racial hatred and actions, and I hope the world will see his hypocracy. Also your book reminds us that there are many out there like Hoover and I, and hopefully future mixed generations of all races will not feel the shame of their blended bloodlines. I can now honestly say that I do not. Thank you, Ms. McGhee.
