Too Far From Home

How does a child growing up with a white father and a black mother, both immigrants, come to define her own identity? How do the prejudices and misconceptions of the people around her influence her choices? This is the story of a strong loving multicultural family, and their teenage daughter’s journey into self-discovery. 
The book won the Anderson Commendation, was commended by the Ministry of Education, & voted second place by children in the National Book Survey conducted through the schools in 2002.
