Kristin Hunter's acclaimed and award-winning young adult novel.
She says: "This book is not autobiographical except in a spiritual sense, in that it contains some of the milestones I have passed on my own continuing journey to discovering the meaning of my Afro-American identity and its worth."--from the back flap.

A fourteen-year-old girl tries to reconcile her dreams and hopes for the future with the harsh realities of life in the black ghetto.

Beautiful conditioned paperback. Looks un-read. Very minor edgewear. Spotless interior.
