That White Girl (Simon and Schuster/Atria, 2007), by JLove

whitegirl

This novel is a coming of age story traveled by a white girl who flirts with the color lines. In the process Amber gets allured by the call of thug life and becomes immersed in the world of gangs and graffiti. Amber twirls through tales of risky crimes and party times until illusion and reality collide resulting in a painful tragedy.

White Girl explores the humiliations and triumphs that occur when an outsider breaks boundaries and becomes involved with the art, politics, and lives of people perceived as different. On a more personal level, the book chronicles Amber’s inner struggle for identity and self-expression, and ultimately her transformation from gang-banger to Hip-Hop activist.
