From the time she moves into an all-White Chicago neighborhood, Anna finds herself wrestling with her hair as she wrestles with her identity. With a little laughter and a lot of Dippity-Do, she struggles to find her place in-between. When she discovers her family’s secret on her 18th birthday, she is finally confronted with the truth of who she really is.
