I stayed up WAAAAAY too late last night reading this book.  Once I started I HAD to know what was going to happen.  I was SO hoping for a good outcome for this young girl.  I was not disappointed.It is a difficult read.  Sad, devastating, powerful.It addresses a reality for so many black people around the world whose skin color is dark.  It is something I had heard about before, could empathize with, but didn't really understand.The first person narrative voice really helped me understand Dana's life, what Dana had to go through...through no fault of her own.Last night, after finishing the book, I was sad.  Today I am pissed off. How dare people treat other people that way...especially family, the people who are supposed to be on your side no matter what.I'm glad I read this book.  It is one of dozens of random books I have read.  It is my passion to read random books.  I learn so much by reading books I never would have chosen for myself.  I found this one by randomly reading twitter tweets (don't know what you call them!!).It is also my passion to get others to read random books.  Give it a try!  Get out of your comfort zone.  Try different books.  You will be glad you did.
