Three young authors—Britany, Angelly, and Ashley—contribute their words to this small yet powerful book. One brings to light the story of being assigned a different pronunciation of her name and how that both voids of her identity while also giving her a chance to be better accepted into society. One author speaks of her wish to be heard and locate her roots. And one authors speaks to her live growing up never taking anything for granted.
