Summary

Orphaned and alone, Rachel is taken under the wing of her strict African-American grandmother and moved to a mostly black community where her light brown skin, blue eyes, and astonishing beauty start to attract a troubling level of attention.

As the terrible secrets begin to emerge, Rachel learns to swallow her grief and construct her own self-image in a world that wants to see her as either black or white.

©2009 Heidi W. Durrow. Recorded by arrangement with Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill (P)2009 HighBridge Company
