Description
When Gail Lukasik was growing up in the US, she'd always wondered about her mother's quirky habits. For instance, she always wore a light foundation before she went to bed. Years later Gail would discover that this had been one of her mother's attempts to hide the fact that she was actually multiracial and had passed as white her whole life. Gail wrote a book about her story, White Like Her: My Family's Story of Race and Racial Passing.
