Begging for Change
Raspberry’s mother gets attacked and her estranged father returns. Sato is looking at Raspberry differently now—like maybe he’d like her to be his girlfriend. Raspberry's girls Zora, Ja’nae and Mai, always stand by her. But it's different now. Life's not so simple. Zora doesn't want her father dating Raspberry's mom. Mai is struggling with being bi-racial, and can't understand why her father wants her Korean cousins to spend the summer with them. Raspberry’s world is never boring. Read the novel and find out why.
