When Dana and Hugh Clarke's daughter is unexpectedly born looking African American, they are both forced to explore some uncomfortable truths about themselves. The result is an intriguing story that reveals rarely discussed emotions. Delinsky takes a potentially explosive topic and treats it with sensitivity and honesty. This is a book that will stay with you for a long time.

Wonderfully written. Timely in todays world. A bit tearful in places, but still a very special story. I have read it twice now.

Not bad! Very good subject choice for the author.
I didn't have a hard time keeping the characters straight, which is something I hate!

Story moves along well, great detailing on the knitting aspect! You really do care about the characters, even though their actions may be frustrating at times.

Correct me if I'm wrong (I tend to read fast, and may miss details) but at the end of the book, when the main character is running around doing things, it's like the author forgot about the baby! where is she? who has her?

Small detail, but over all it is a good story.
