#1 My parents’ story began in 1989, at the Charing Cross Hotel in central London. They worked catering to the whims of tourists, and my father had turned down a position at an accountancy firm because he had found the whole number-crunching thing boring. They had both grown up in Ireland and wanted to escape their families and start new lives in London.

#2 My parents got married in 1990, and my mother had a baby girl nine months later. But she knew that the baby was not her husband’s, and she was afraid of what everyone would think.

#3 The parents’ secret about their baby’s identity was that they didn’t want to acknowledge her brown skin, so they pretended she was born white. They made an unspoken promise to each other not to dwell on the history or heritage of their baby girl.

#4 I was raised in love, but when I got older and tried to put myself in my parents’ shoes, I wondered if my mother regretted not being more careful, if my father had stayed out of obligation or guilt. But I could not find any trace of discontent or detachment between me and my father.
