Nigel's father can't stand the dark birthmark on his son's face - he's afraid that it will betray the young man's biracial heritage, a thought the narrator, an African American man, can't abide. The other is their young son, Nigel, a sensitive, intelligent 11-year-old boy with a sweet nature and a childlike sense of curiosity. The first is wife, Penny, with whom he enjoys a playful, passionate relationship. The unnamed narrator of Maurice Carlos Ruffin's We Cast a Shadow has two great loves.
