Growin' Up White (2014) by Dwight Ritter
"Growin' Up White is the story of the immense impact that Georgey, a
fifty-year-old, black housekeeper has on a white family. Imbued with
extra doses of homespun religion, she shapes the family of Wayne Stoner,
a physician, his wife, Lillian, nationally known concert pianist and
their three rebellious sons. Because of Dr. and Mrs. Stoner's busy
lifestyle their children are periodically absorbed into Georgey's
all-black neighborhood. There they develop many friends and a
multi-racial point of view. However, Indianapolis is not ready for
integrated mindsets."
