Joan Steinau Lester's book for young adults looks that the emotional and social experience of Nina, a teen girl living in LA who feels caught between two worlds-the "white" world of her mother and the "black" world of her father. This nowhere land of race becomes harder to navigate when the support system her parents offered is upended by their divorce. As Nina feels caught between two equal identities, racial tensions rise in her school and community. Even Nina's faith seems to fail her-how can she cling to God and the songs of the church when God's image in her seems twisted? When Nina discovers a book her father is writing about Sarah, her great-great grandmother who escaped from slavery on the Underground Railroad, Nina finds someone who can understand her feelings of being trapped in an upside-down world. But will those stories be enough to guide Nina through the pressures she now faces?
