We open with an introduction of Henry and Melvina, parents to:
Gabriel, Nicole, Stephanie, David and Kerri. Kerri is the voice of the story. She details the troubles of growing up in an abusive alcoholic family with a mentally disturbed Mother.

As David and Kerri play in the yard, Henry, often drunk, falls to sleep as Melvina engages one of their explosive arguments. Melvina, white, often laments marrying a black man.

And so, the fights ensue with the racial epithets flying. David, older and protective of Kerri, will pull her down the hall and hide in the bedroom, to listen while preparing for the worst.

Reader Reviews for "Kerri's Curse"

Reviewed by Jerry Bolton 11/12/2009
Since I live down here among the swamps and voodoo-influenced south Louisiana I understand this / I wouldn't think the turmoil over being half and half racially mixed blood would be that much of a problem these days, but I could be wrong. I LOVE that cover . . .
