I'm black and not adopted, so it seems like this character and I would have nothing in common, but I also know what it feels like not to belong anywhere. I grew up predominately around people who were white, and they constantly reminded me that I was the the "whitest black girl they knew." Everything from the way I speak, to my musical interest (I was a musical theatre major and love show tunes). While with my black friends also felt the need to let me know that I "talk white". I even hear that from family members. No one is trying to be mean, but it makes you feel like you don't belong anywhere. <br /><br />I'm very interested in reading this book on a personal level, as well as, as a librarian.
