Keda is adopted into a white family she loves very much, but sometimes feels out of place. When her family moves from Maryland to New Mexico, leaving behind Keda's best friend, she finds it even harder to fit in.
What I loved about this book was Keda's voice and her straight talk about how even those with the best of intentions can say things that make their loved ones feel bad. In a world where race relations are a hot topic, this is an excellent book for understanding. I felt for Keda when the mean girls said atrocious things to her, and maddened when it wasn't handled as it should have been.
The story takes a serious turn about another subject entirely that seems unnecessary. Keda's story was enough to keep me interested.
