Who is Kitty, Boy and Jennie Savage from No Telephone to Heaven and what is their importance? No_Telephone_to_Heaven English & Literature "Kitty

Kitty is Clare's mother, Boy her father, and Jennie her sister. Kitty and Boy are both lighter skinned, while Jennie is darker. Despite their similar pigmentation, however, Kitty and Boy have very different racial perspectives. The further away she is from her black homeland and fellow black people, the blacker Kitty feels she is and wants to be. Boy, on the other hand, sees blackness as a handicap, and strives for both himself and his family to be as white as possible (it's interesting to note that "boy" has, over the centuries, been a derogatory term, with racist overtones, used to refer to black males).
