The Farming of Bones

The first portion of the book is indeed intriguing. I am in love with the way Amabelle describes her love story with Sebastien. The love they share seems as if it is a pure one, one that natural and unforced. I was also intrigued by how Señora Valencia was so quick to judge the color of her child's skin. She just finished such a beautiful moment of giving birth and the shock of having twins; for her to so quickly comment on the child's color disgusts me. The comment she made, "They might mistake her for one of your people" also disgusted me. The farther even "shuts up" the doctor from commenting on the child's color. Children change drastically from their time of birth to even the age if one. I think that color should not have been a factor so early on. They were babies and I think that parents and everyone else should just enjoy them being babies.
