A coming-of-age novel, of sorts, written in an interesting blogger-ish style. Thandi is the daughter of a South African mom and an American dad who grows up in metro Philadelphia. The central event is the untimely death of Thandi's mother. Vignettes from the narrator's life, out of sequence, woven with historical blurbs (with photos and graphs) about various topics: Winnie Mandela, mortality rates among African-Americans, mathematics.
