Monday, February 25 through Friday, March 22, 2002. Read by Judith Strasser.
Birdie looks like her white, New England mother. Her big sister Cole takes after their black radical father. The break-up of the marriage, Cole’s move to Brazil with her dad and Birdie’s to New Hampshire with her mother, divides the family at a time of political upheaval. When Birdie decides she wants to know all her family, her coming of age story reveals much about America.
