Description
In the 1980s, a young biracial girl named Rachel navigates a profound loss that uproots her life and sends her to live with her grandmother in a predominantly Black neighborhood. As she grapples with the complexities of her identity, torn between her Danish mother and Black father, Rachel must confront the prejudices of a society that struggles to define her. This poignant novel explores themes of race, belonging, and the search for self in a world that often demands simple answers to complicated questions. It is a powerful coming-of-age story about finding your place when you don't quite fit anywhere.
