fast-paced

4.0

There aren't many books that you'd fall in love with just by reading the first two pages. The writing is so simple and yet beautiful.

Set in an alternate history and centred on the mixed-race character, Callie Rose, if offers a different perspective on racism (and family issue), and how her life symblizes the separate parts of society joining.
