Excerpt from Book "Im not African! Im not American! Im not black, and Im not white!" Fourteen-year-old Suzanne loudly blasted me with these words, baring the pain in her heart. She knew she was African--born in Sierra Leone of African parents. She also knew that she was an American citizen. Yet this anguish had defined her confusion and shaped her life. For as long as she could remember she had struggled to discover where she fit, stating her anger at God that she looked "different." Experience with Suzanne and her family the raging emotions, the sometimes unbelievable circumstances, and the amazing (unexpected) destiny that lay before her.
