Shane McCrae is the son of a white woman and a black man. In order to save Shane from the indignity and evils of being reared by his father, his mother’s parents kidnapped him when the boy was three years old. Surprisingly–but perhaps not given she was abused by her father as a child–his mother did nothing to intervene as her white supremacist parents took him to Texas and reared them as their own son. Yet his grandparents must have been afraid his mother would at some point try to stop them or find the boy, for they threatened to leave the country and prevent her from ever seeing Shane again if she did. It is a miracle that as racist as his grandparents were, McCrae never feels ashamed of his blackness. Indeed, he holds onto it, possibly because it is the one thing he knows is his.
