Sun Kissed: Life of a Quadroon

By Diaris Marie Jones

Two families whose lives are guided by the unwritten, deep-rooted customs of New Orleans' Quadroon system push, pull, flex their muscles, and entangle themselves, emotionally, sexually and politically within the 'boundaries' of post-Civil War change. Pale-skinned, coal-black straight hair with deep hazel eyes, Evelyn Beauchamps, is 1/4 African blood. Simon Mathieu, a colonial Frenchman mated Evelyn for twenty years producing, radiantly red-skinned Jean-Pierre, golden, sun kissed Cecilia and chocolate caramel-skinned Yvonne. Patricia Mathieu, a British immigrant is mother of Simonette ( little Simon). Within the larger world, Simon and Patricia are legally married.
