A beauty with light brown skin and blue eyes, she attracts... more » much attention in her new home. The world wants to see her as either black or white, but that’s not how she sees herself.
Meanwhile, a mystery unfolds, revealing the terrible truth about Rachel’s last morning on a Chicago rooftop. Interwoven with her voice are those of Jamie, a neighborhood boy who witnessed the events, and Laronne, a friend of Rachel’s mother.
