More than anything else Amara wants to go to NYC with her dad for her birthday. It becomes even more important when she learns about a family history project for school and she realizes how little she knows - in fact, she didn't even know her dad and grandfather haven't spoken for 12 years (the year she was born, the year her grandma died - coincidence?). When her parents finally agree to let her go Amara takes the opportunity to learn more about her family, her roots, and maybe bring healing to her father and grandfather.
This was a good story about family relationships, healing, and also some good African American heritage especially in the Harlem area.
