Eleven-year-old Makeda is black and adopted. Her parents and older sister are white. She loves her family but moving across the country to a new home and a new school in New Mexico accelerates her feeling of being different. Until this year, she's never been confronted with the "N" word, she's never been to a black beauty salon, and she and her sister Eve have never had to deal with their mother's mental health issues so directly before.
