Description
Jade believes she must get out of her poor neighborhood if she's ever going to succeed. Her mother tells her to take advantage of every opportunity that comes her way, and Jade has done just that - every day she rides the bus away from her friends and to the private school where she feels like an outsider, but where she has plenty of opportunities. However, some opportunities Jade doesn't really welcome, like an invitation to join Women to Women, a mentorship program for "at-risk" girls. Her mentor is black and graduated from the same high school, but Jade isn't sure if this means her mentor truly understands where she's coming from. Jade wants to speak, to create, to express her joys and sorrows, her pain and her hope. Jade longs to show other women about understanding the world and finding ways to be real, to make a difference. This powerful story explores what it means to find your voice in a world that often seems determined to silence you.
