Jade is a young African American girl who feels she needs to get out of the neighborhood she is living in. She has a scholarship to a prestigious mostly white private school, which is a great opportunity, but the other opportunites that come her way make her feel like they are more demeaning. Such as the Woman to Woman group Jade is invited to for "at risk" girls, which is more like a group for "poor black" girls.
But Jade soon learns more about herself and grows through the group. The story explores that challenges that young black women face every day.
I thought this was a good story. Jade's character was strongly written and I enjoyed seeing her blossom throughout the story.
