Paris has just moved in with the Lincoln family, and isn't
thrilled to be in yet another foster home. She has a tough
time trusting people, and she misses her brother, who's
been sent to a boys' home. Over time, the Lincolns grow on
Paris. But no matter how hard she tries to fit in, she
can't ignore the feeling that she never will, especially in
a town that's mostly white while she is half black. It
isn't long before Paris has a big decision to make about
where she truly belongs.
Nikki Grimes has created a portrait of a young girl who, in
the midst of being shuffled back and forth between homes
and realizing things about other people and the world
around her, gradually embarks on the road to discovering
herself.
