Beautifully written. Different characters tell the story that centers around Rachel and members of her family, including a young man who lived in the family's apartment building in Chicago. The backdrop of the book's focus is a heart-wrenching incident that unfolds slowly as each character describes the it from their angle of vision.
Developing at the same time is the powerful drama of Rachel, a young bi-racial girl's blooming awareness of cultural identity, selfhood and survival.
