“Provocative . . . Persuasively describes the phenomenon of
belonging to two different worlds, and thus belonging to
neither.”—The New York Times Book Review

intersection of the most serious questions of identity, class, and
race.”—The Washington Post Book World
“Beautifully crafted . . . moving and candid . . . this book
belongs on the shelf beside works like James McBride’s The Color of
Water and Gregory Howard Williams’s Life on the Color Line as a
tale of living astride America’s racial categories.”—Scott
Turow

savoring.”—Alex Kotlowitz, author of There Are No Children Here
