My book club read The Girl Who Fell From The Sky by Heidi Duerow. The story is about Rachel, who, like the author is biracial. Rachel has a sad life. Her mother has a sad life. Her father has a sad life. There is a little boy in the story who is a bystander in Rachel's young life and then meets her again when she is 18. And he, yes, you guessed it, has a sad life. The whole book is a 5 layer sadness cake. There is enough sadness in this book to make 6 Lifetime channel shows. If you're looking for a sad story, this is the book for you.
