This is a story of long lost sisters, seperated when Trish was only 4 and Billy was a newborn. Trish has an unhappy childhood being raised by very strict white grandparents. Billy has an ideal childhood having been adopted by well educated and successful black parents who have not told Billy she is adopted. After Trish finally visits the graves of her mother and grandparents, she realizes that the baby she was told was killed in the same car crash as her mother is not dead, thus she seeks her out and the story revolves from there. The characters in this book are well developed and highly likeable. It is a very thought provoking book, well worth reading.
