In this anthology of 20 short stories the experiences of multiracial and/or multicultural characters are amplified and celebrated. In the foreword from the editors, Williams and Balcarcel write that they hope to recognize the many ways living in two or more cultures helps us to develop empathy and a broader world view and that is exactly what this collection does- it builds a bridge that connects all to multicultural experiences while humanizing the experience of those who have struggled to feel completely at home within their own communities. I am so grateful that this collection exists. Though these stories are fictional they are representative of the racial identity development and coming of age experiences many young people encounter when figuring out who they are in the world.
Thank you to the editors and the publisher for the e-arc copy!

I absolutely loved this collection of stories. Five stars! The writers did a beautiful job with telling their stories of race and culture and identity. I thought there was a good flow from one to the next. Some I found to have a hint of humor while others are quite serious. I’m hoping my teenage son will also read this.
Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!
