Rachel, the daughter of a Danish mother and a black G.I.,
becomes the sole survivor of a family tragedy after a fateful
morning on their Chicago rooftop. Forced to move to a new city,
with her strict African American grandmother as her guardian,
Rachel is thrust for the first time into a mostly black
community, where her light brown skin, blue eyes, and beauty
bring a constant stream of attention her way. It’s there, as she
grows up and tries to swallow her grief, that she comes to
understand how the mystery and tragedy of her mother might be
connected to her own uncertain identity. This searing and heart
wrenching portrait of a young biracial girl dealing with
society’s ideas of race and class is the winner of the
Bellwether Prize for best fiction manuscript addressing issues
of social justice.
Characters: 50. Amazon rating: 4 stars. Genre: Fiction.
