Delphine, and her sisters, Fern and Vonnetta travel to California to see their mother Celine, (or was it Cecile) that left them when Fern was a baby, Vonnetta was a toddler, and Delphine was a child. In California, they discover more about themselves and the Black Panthers. This story represents non-violent change, civil rights, and history.

I read this book because it was on my summer reading list, and I think it's an amazing book. I can relate to it because it is similar to what is currently happening in the world right now, with George Floyd. This is an awesome book!!!

I didn’t like how the person we are seeing things from (Delphine)’s name isn’t really mentioned which confused me throughout the story. Also it had some touching parts. Also it had a good plot. I loved the role that Cecile played as the lazy mom and Ferns role as the little sister who always ha something to say.
