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.
