Publisher's Synopsis

Patricia Gilbert looks nearly as young as the students she counsells in a Brooklyn high school. And despite her African-American heritage she looks white. Kent Baxter is a troubled bi-racial teen, almost at once he is challenged by his class mates to prove he is one of them. His father is falling for a black woman the world thought was white. As his angry son's emotions race towards boiling point, they all have to learn the truth about love and identity, which is more than just skin deep.

About the Publisher

Penguin Books

The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
