With all the rhythm, poetry, and pain of a Black girl's childhood in South Central LA, Inglewood native and USC graduate Jalondra A. Davis tells the story of Tanis Sutton, who dreams of having happy parents, straight hair, and an ice-cream colored house on the west side of town. In this coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of the LA 92 riots, Tanis struggles with playground romance and schoolyard cliques in the midst of her family's bitter betrayals. Teens and adults should enjoy this novel, which critics have described this novel as a "haunting" "stunning" and "masterful" portrayal of inner-city adolescence and family life.
