ISBN: 9780525578239.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA powerful coming-of-age novel pulled from personal experience about the meaning of friendship, the joyful beginnings of romance, and the racism and religious intolerance that can both strain a family to the breaking point and strengthen its bonds.\n\nGrowing up in an affluent suburb of New York City, sixteen-year-old Nevaeh Levitz never thought much about her biracial roots. When her Black mom and Jewish dad split up, she relocates to her moms family home in Harlem and is forced to confront her identity for the first time.\n\nNevaeh wants to get to know her extended family, but because she inadvertently passes as white, her cousin thinks shes too privileged, pampered, and selfish to relate to the injustices African Americans face on a daily basis. In the meantime, Nevaehs dad decides that she should have a belated bat mitzvah instead of a sweet sixteen, which guarantees social humiliation at her posh private school. But rather than take a stand, Nevaeh does what shes always done when life gets complicated: she stays silent.\n\nOnly when Nevaeh stumbles upon a secret from her moms past, finds herself falling in love, and sees firsthand the prejudice her family faces that she begins to realize she has her own voice. And choices. Will she continue to let circumstances dictate her path? Or will she decide once for all who and where she is meant to be?\n\n\"Absolutely outstanding!\" --Nic Stone, New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Delacorte Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44985244155957,"sku":"ByrdShop_0525578234","price":26.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780525578239_e663310e-55a1-4a9f-a7af-e59b060e8e3b.jpg?v=1778715482","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/color-me-in-9780525578239","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
