Description

Tasia Quirk is young, Black, and fabulous. She's got great friends, a supportive family, and she even plays football as the only girl on her private high school's team. But when she catches her mamma trying to stuff a mysterious box in the closet, her identity is suddenly called into question. Determined to unravel the lies that have overtaken her life, Tasia sets out on a journey of self-discovery. Along the way, she learns what family and forgiveness really mean, and that her answers don't come without a fee. An artsy bisexual boy from the Valley could help her find them - but only if she stops fighting who she is, beyond the color of her skin. As Tasia navigates her complicated world, she discovers that the truth can be both painful and liberating. With its stunning portrayal of black girlhood and family dynamics, this book is an emotional and thought-provoking read.
