YA
Seventeen-year-old biracial Angie grew up believing her father was dead. When she discovers her mom ("the kind...other kids ought to be jealous of") might have lied, Angie sets off to learn the truth. Chapters alternate between Angie's present-day story and that of her mother, Marilyn, as a teenager. Though the prose can be overwrought, Dellaria's portrayal of family dynamics is sympathetic and complex.
