Genesis Begins Again by Alicia D. Williams

In an America where light skin is the beauty standard, Genesis finds it hard to feel pretty as an African American. When her family moves once again to a new home, Genesis is forced to adapt and find her way around a new school. She finds comfort in listening to artists such as Billy Holiday and uses music as a way to cope.

This book is about finding self-love, mending family bonds, the power of music, and finding beauty within yourself.
