She doesn't even mind being the only black girl in the troupe--that is, until she is told she'll never be a classical dancer. It's then that Mina begins to face some difficult truths about race and identity and transfers her passion for dance to Tamer Shipp, the summer minister for her church. The problem is, he's a grown man with a family, but she can't stop wishing for more to their friendship than simply pastor and parishioner. <p/>Cynthia Voigt's incomparable mastery of character and community shines forth in this stirring novel from her acclaimed Tillerman cycle.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Cynthia Voigt won the Newbery Medal for <i>Dicey's Song</i>, the Newbery Honor Award for <i>A Solitary Blue</i>, and the National Book Award Honor for <i>Homecoming</i>, all part of the beloved Tillerman cycle.
