Everything Within and In Between by Nikki Barthelmess
5.0
Let me start by saying that this was an emotional coming-of-age story.
The author has done an excellent job of balancing a personal coming-of-age narrative full of shifting friendships and loves with a larger picture of history and community.
A contemplative, insightful look at the lives of a multiracial kid striving to regain her heritage and establish her identity in the face of conflicting messages regarding race, skin color, education, family, language, friendships, and addiction.
