Jade 希望能脫離貧窮而成功,她的母親也經常告訴她別放過任何機會。於是她做到了:她選擇一所遠離家鄉的私校就讀,即使每日車程漫漫,即使她在那裡總覺得自己是個局外人。適應並不容易,然而她拒絕被孤立為需要幫助的人;她要說出自己的想法,親自創造事物,親口表達自己的喜怒哀樂。
 
Acclaimed author Renee Watson offers a powerful story about a girl striving for success in a world that too often seems like it's trying to break her.
Jade believes she must get out of her poor neighborhood if she's ever going to succeed. Her mother tells her to take advantage of every opportunity that comes her way. And Jade has: every day she rides the bus away from her friends and to the private school where she feels like an outsider, but where she has plenty of opportunities. But some opportunities she doesn't really welcome, like an invitation to join Women to Women, a mentorship program for "at-risk" girls. Just because her mentor is black and graduated from the same high school doesn't mean she understands where Jade is coming from. She's tired of being singled out as someone who needs help, someone people want to fix. Jade wants to speak, to create, to express her joys and sorrows, her pain and her hope. Maybe there are some things she could show other women about understanding the world and finding ways to be real, to make a difference.
