Tree of Forgetting

Sheyna was born to a surrogate mother. For Joel and Lily-Rose, a typical American family, this was the only way to have the desired child. And she would live happily with loving parents, except that the girl, like her biological... mother, has black skin. As she grows up, Sheyna begins to think about her origins, her roots - and what it means to be a person of color in America. She faces a long and thorny path to self-discovery and finding her identity.

This novel is as multifaceted and diverse as it is powerful and uncompromising; there is little room left for love, tenderness, and compassion.
In this bloody fiery world, where it seems impossible to escape one's own past, the time for forgiveness has yet to come.
