Epigraph
Dedication
For her parents
First words
It starts with sound of butterfly wings, flappying, hundreds of them aroundmy head, thump, thinping; and my hari lashing against my cheeks like wisps of grass. My face sprouts from the backseat window like a tender green shoot through concrete. I can't hear my grandmother Elsie shouting to put my head back into the car. I can't hear Jed swearing about this godforsaken place in them middle of nowhere.
Quotations
Loved this sentence: We move out to the apartment courtyard, where the wet grass licks our bare feet with a thousand hungry tongues

Book description
This is a "real" book. It says it like it is. It speaks of how it is. I enjoyed the book throughout but well, you are going to have to find that out for yourself.
