In verse ranging from strictly narrative to absolutely lyrical, Hilton tells of a Californian girl transplanted to Vermont in 1969. Mimi is the daughter of an African American father and a Japanese mother, which would render her an oddity in the community even if she didn't aspire to be an astronaut and prefer taking shop class to home ec. Perceptive, sensitive, and much-needed.
