This book is a collection of twelve short stories about Kara Davis, as she grows through elementary school to high school graduation. She lives with her mother, who seems to anger easily and keeps close control of everything Kara says and does. Kara's grandparents came from Jamaica and have a very unstable marriage. These coming of age stories deal a lot with relationships, culture and racism. I felt the last story ended the book abruptly without tying the whole book together. I look forward to reading more from this author! I gave this book a rating of 4 stars.
