In 1975, Tiphanie must adjust to her suburban Colorado high school as one of two African American students. She tries to live up to her parents' expectations to represent her race through a positive work ethic and decorum. Tiphanie's witty, sometimes sardonic narration elucidates this story of teen life affected by the realities of subtle racism.
