Being a transracial adoptee doesn' t bother sixteen-year-old Alex Kirtridge-at least, not in a way she can explain to her white family. It doesn' t matter that she' s biracial when she' s the star of the baseball team. But when Alex is off the field, she' s teased for "acting" too white and judged for looking black. And while she loves her parents, her hot-headed brother, and her free-speaking sister, they don' t seem to understand what it means that Reggie, a fellow ball player, is the first black guy who' s wanted to get to know her. Things only get more complicated when she finds hidden letters from her birth father. Alex can' t stop asking questions. Does she really fit in with her family? What would it be like to go to a black hairdresser? Should she contact her birth father, despite the fact that it might devastate her parents? Meanwhile, her body is changing, and Alex isn' t sure she can keep up with her teammates. If she' s going to find answers, Alex must come to terms with her adoption, her race, and the dreams she thought would always guide her. Author Shannon Gibney draws from her own experiences as a transracial adoptee to deliver this honest coming-of-age novel about a girl who doesn' t know where she wants to fit in.
