Beach loving surfer Alberta has been the only black girl in town
for years. Alberta's best friend Laramie is the closest thing she
has to a sister, but there are some things even she can't
udnerstand. When the Bed and Breakfast next door finally finds new
owners, Alberta is ecstatic to learn the new family is black, and
they have a 12-year old daughter just like her. Alberta is positive
she and the new girl, Edie, will be fast friends. But her dads are
quick to warn her, "all skinfolk ain't kinfolk". While Alberta is
an upbeat sporty beach lover, Edie is a moody Wednesday Addams come
to life. She wears black dresses and lipstick, and doesn't get any
of Alberta's jokes. When the girls discover a collection of secret
journals in Edie's attic, their curiosity gets the best of them and
they put their differences aside. Soon they discover shocking and
painful secrets, and the role the unrelenting violence of s racism
played in it.
