The sisters are so close that they speak their own language, yet Birdie, with her light skin and straight hair, is often mistaken for white, while Cole is dark enough to fit in with the other kids at school. Despite their differences, Cole is Birdie's confidant, her protector, the mirror by which she understands herself. Then their parents' marriage collapses. One night Birdie watches her father and his new girlfriend drive away with Cole. Soon Birdie and her mother are on the road as well, drifting across the country in search of a new home. But for Birdie, home will always be Cole. Haunted by the loss of her sister, she sets out a desperate search for the family that left her behind. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The extraordinary national bestseller that launched Danzy Senna's literary career, \u003ci\u003eCaucasia \u003c\/i\u003eis a modern classic, at once a powerful coming of age story and a groundbreaking work on identity and race in America. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDanzy Senna's first novel, \u003cb\u003eCaucasia\u003c\/b\u003e, was the winner of the Book-of-the-Month Club's Stephen Crane Award for First Fiction and an American Library Association Alex Award.
