In a compelling story about three sisters who go to Oakland,
CA, in 1968, to meet the mother who abandoned them, acclaimed
author Rita Williams-Garcia writes with insight and humor about
family, politics, and identity. Eleven-year-old Delphine is like a
mother to her two younger sisters, Vonetta and Fern. When they
arrive on the West Coast, their mother decides that they will
attend a summer camp each day run by the Black Panthers, while they
wonder what really goes on at home in her kitchen, where she runs
her own printing press.
