When her Black mom and Jewish dad split up, she relocates to her mom's family home in Harlem and is forced to confront her identity for the first time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNevaeh wants to get to know her extended family, but because she inadvertently passes as white, her cousin thinks she's too privileged, pampered, and selfish to relate to the injustices African Americans face on a daily basis. In the meantime, Nevaeh's dad decides that she should have a belated bat mitzvah instead of a sweet sixteen, which guarantees social humiliation at her posh private school. But rather than take a stand, Nevaeh does what she's always done when life gets complicated: she stays silent. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOnly when Nevaeh stumbles upon a secret from her mom's past, finds herself falling in love, and sees firsthand the prejudice her family faces does she begin to realize she has her own voice. And choices. Will she continue to let circumstances dictate her path? Or will she decide once for all who and where she is meant to be? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Absolutely outstanding!\" --Nic Stone, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eDear Martin\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNatasha Díaz is a freelance writer and producer.
