Reach for this book when your teenager begins questioning the layers of their identity or feels a disconnect between their home life and their racial reality. Alex is a talented baseball player who has always thrived in her loving, white adoptive family, but as she enters her mid-teens, the colorblind approach they have used starts to feel like a erasure of her true self. The story follows her journey of self-discovery as she navigates secret letters from her biological father and the complexities of being a Black girl in a predominantly white world. It is a poignant, honest look at transracial adoption and the necessary, sometimes painful process of defining oneself outside of a family's well-intentioned but limited perspective. This is a vital read for fostering deep conversations about honesty, heritage, and what it truly means to belong.
