The Color of My Coffee Coffee, like life, can have a variety of shades and complexities, as young Steven Reilly is about to find out. He is a nave teenager living in a white suburb of Los Angeles during the turbulent 1960s with his mentally disturbed mother, and his cold, unfeeling father. His sheltered life abruptly changes when he buys a small business from his brother that soon becomes a gathering place for colorful characters from all walks of life. The story focuses on the racial issues, cultural conflicts, and dangers, that transpire when Steven hires his soon to be best friend, Herb Jackson, an African-American man from the Deep South, to work for him at his car cleaning shop. Herbs old friend Speedy Dave Desoto, and Andy Calhoun, a man straight out of the hills of West Virginia, also hire on, and soon become Stevens second family. Jack, his peculiar friend from high school, and the evil bookie The Roach, add to the mix of odd, but fascinating, characters. Will Herbs gambling addiction lead to his downfall, or will it lead to Stevens? Only Herb can decide who lives, and who dies.
