Colors of Truth follows the stories of Caroline and Pearlie, two teenage girls growing up in Texas in the 1950s.

Pearlie is a black girl, living with her parents and siblings.

But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality.

Young Richard Antoine White and his mother don't have a key to a room or a house. Sometimes they have shelter, but they never have a place to call home. Still, they have each other, and Richard believes he can look after his mother, even as she struggles with alcoholism and sometimes disappears, sending Richard into loops of visiting familiar spots until he finds her again. And he always does―until one night, when he almost dies searching for her in the snow and is taken in by his adoptive grandparents.
