Birdie

All her life Birdie Clements has felt like an outsider. The only dark skinned member of her white Southern family, she struggles to fit in - even at home. At eighteen years old and with only a handful of months before she graduates, her parents' marriage falls apart and Birdie is shipped to her mother's small hometown to live with an uncle she never knew she had. The plan is simple: get through these last few months with her head down, graduate, and then be free to move away and finally take control of her life once and for all. The plan did not include falling for the very popular, very handsome, very pigment-challenged Wesley Lott. But things don't always go according to plan...
