The Girl Who Fell From The Sky

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.
