This novel is nothing short of phenomenal and really shook me to the core. This is the story of a young girl who survives a shocking, tragic event. She is the daughter of a Danish mother and African-American father. She comes to live with her paternal grandmother and her life changes drastically. The tension in the story--the circumstances surrounding the tragedy--is maintained perfectly until the point of revelation. Issues of race--who we think we are and how we are percieved by others--is dealt with beautifully. There are no easy answers here, but a thoroughly engrossing novel. A must-read!!
