Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A novel written by Danzy Senna. The narrator, Birdie Lee, is a young half-black-half-white girl growing up in the 1970s. She speaks a made-up language with her sister Cole and is home schooled for much of her early life. A radical action on her mother's part leads to the two sisters becoming separated and trying to find their way back to each other. The book deals with the issues of race, passing, sisterhood and belonging. | |

Mixed Ancestry | |
| Caucasia / int_9bf7798d | comment |
Mixed Ancestry: Both Birdie and Cole, although Birdie looks more like her (white) mother and Cole resembles her (black) father. This crops up as an issue time and time again and eventually leads to the two sisters splitting ways. | |

Informed Judaism | |
| Caucasia / int_c673210e | comment |
Informed Judaism: Invoked by Birdie's mother. When the two are on the lam, their new identities are Jewish, but neither of them know very much about Judaism. Birdie wears a cheap Star of David and her mother occasionally calls her meshugga in public. When settling down in a new place they sometimes forget that they're supposed to be Jewish in the first place. | |

Everything Is Racist | |
| Caucasia / int_fab3b838 | comment |
Everything Is Racist: Deck Lee, Birdie and Cole's father often falls victim to this, but is only amused when presented with a legitimately racist blackface doll. | |
