Fires to Come by Asha LemmieMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Carlotta was adopted by an Italian family when she was found as a baby. Her dad was also the Don of one of the local mafias. She was her mother's baby girl. The oldest brother hated her. Luca, the younger (but older than her) didn't. She also found she didn't quite fit in (she was black and the only black person in her neighborhood).
As the family grows up, she realizes she wants to be loved and to be happy. She learns about a speakeasy in Harlem. There she finds people that look like her, but again she doesn't quite fit in. She meets a guy and falls for him, but realizes it wouldn't be a good fit. She learns what she wants and needs to be happy, safe, and content. She then does what needs to be done.
Amazing.
