This novel travels through a year with two adopted teenagers-one white and the other part black-as they search for their biological roots and for themselves. They're brother and sister with different quests, yet they grow together while exploring who they 'really' are and want to become. Ultimately, we hope they learn to accept the genetic traits they were given, add features of their own choosing, and blend the mix to create the individuals they want to be. However, we also know that growing up seldom happens as planned.
