Atlanta, Georgia Jun 26, 2018 (Issuewire.com) - A new fiction book written by Award Winning Author, Marian L. Thomas, will no doubt spark fresh debate on the alarming trend of young women who have engaged in skin bleaching when it launches on October 23rd. The book, The Caged Butterfly, is a fictional story that follows three characters as they navigate life’s often rocky terrain in search of hope, courage, and forgiveness. One of the main characters, Nina Taylor—is convinced that having white skin is the only way to make it successfully in the entertainment industry and thus begins bleaching her skin to hide her black heritage.
"At the heart of Nina's story, lies a very dangerous obsession that has become an authentic reality for young women today, " Thomas stated.
A New York essay called "Mourning for Whiteness" written by Nobel Prize-Winning author Toni Morrison, addresses the assumption that being white is better.
The Caged Butterfly is the third contemporary fiction book that Thomas has written that broaches on the issue of race. The other being- I Believe In Butterflies. She said: "The Caged Butterfly provides an imitate look at a young woman who must go through the caterpillars of life to learn that one must love the skin they're in. It's a tough lesson for Nina, but the end is beautiful."
The Caged Butterfly will be available in paperback, hardcover, and digital formats when it releases in October. The author will conduct book signings for the novel at Barnes & Noble bookstores, the week of its scheduled release.
