This is a powerful story told through the eyes of a ten year old. At the outset, it appears that Sasha is a young girl who "has it all." Her parents are loving and successful; they have just moved into a new townhouse. The reader quickly begins to see that life unravelling. Sasha is exposed to the prejudice facing her African-American family. While Sasha is brilliant and talented, her parents are drug addicts and she becomes responsible for the house and the care of her younger sister, Sarah. Pressures and jealousy of her best friend set her off to bullying and troubles at school. The plot twists and turns as Sasha's family life spirals out of control. ~ Excerpt of Review by Barbara Ann MojicaBook Description:
