Kenya Curtis is merely eight years old, but she knows that she's different, even if she can't put her finger how or why. It's not because she's black - most of the other students in the fourth-grade category at her Western Philadelphia elementary college are, too. Maybe it's because she telephone calls her daddy - a housepainter-slash-philosopher - "Baba" or because her parents' friends gather to put out libations "from the Creator, for the Martyrs" and discuss "the community". Kenya will know that it's connected to what her Baba cell phone calls "the shame to be alive" - a shame that only increases deeper and more complex. Disgruntled, effortlessly funny, and achingly poignant, follow Kenya from Western Philadelphia to the suburbs, from public college to private, from youth through adolescence, as she increases ever more disgruntled by her incapability to find anyplace or thing or person that feels as though home.
