(2) YA Abandoned by her mother, abused by her foster parents, then kidnapped by her mother, Janie decides she doesn't like being white; instead she tries to speak like her sweet-natured foster brother, a shy black boy who introduces her to the music of black R&B and jazz singers. The chain of horrendous events is perhaps overly melodramatic, but Janie's naked longings make the account of her journey a searing one.
