(3) YA Sophomore Linc finds herself in constant opposition to her sister Holly, adopted from Ghana by Linc's (white) family and only four months older than Linc. Holly is academically gifted, while Linc excels at photography but struggles in school. Free-verse poems capture the family's dynamic while limning Linc's struggle for self-expression and longing for acceptance. Readers will rejoice alongside Linc when her talents are finally recognized.
