Excerpt
The Other Half of My Heart
Mama was always pointing out that of the millions of genes that made them all human, only seven or eight told their skin what color to be. A minuscule number, she said. A very small difference. Â So that was what Minni chose to believe, even though somewhere deep inside her brain, in a little drawer she rarely let herself open, lived the concern that the difference she'd been assured didn't matter actually mattered a lot. Â She squeezed her sister's hand and made an early birthday wish: May nothing ever, ever come between Keira and me. Nothing--big or small. Â From the Hardcover edition.
