About This Month’s Featured Audio
Winner of Barbara Kingsolver’s Bellwether Prize for Literature of Social Change. Rachel, the daughter of a Danish mother and a black G.I., is the sole survivor of a tragic family incident. With her strict African American grandmother as her new guardian, she must attempt to come to terms with an unfathomable past and confront her own identity as a biracial young woman in a world that wants to see her as either black or white.

Reviews/Praise

“[A] breathless telling of a tale we’ve never heard before. Haunting and lovely, pitch-perfect.” —Barbara Kingsolver

“Echoes of the early Toni Morrison, resonances with Langston Hughes. . . . A stunning debut.” —George Hutchinson, author of In Search of Nella Larson
