Anything I write about this book ties the book down to earth while what the book does is soar. It's about a girl who lives the first decade of her life defined as only her parents' child, and then enters a world where she struggles with a definition as either black or white. The mystery in the background is about what happened to make that transition, and the story in the foreground is a sort of coming of age story as Rachel attempts to find her place. The book is beautifully written and the tragedies are sort of soft-focus. I cared about the people in this book, which is written in short chapters that alternate between different points of view. The structure of the book drew me in, making me always want to read that one more chapter.
