In a town that is already racially divided, the pot gets stirred even more. But when the secret that she’s been hiding her ethnicity from others gets out, the bullying ramps up.

Her father insists that she do everything possible to keep this a secret, but one day in gym class, an outdoor run catches her in the rain and soon everyone knows. It’s the story of Maddy Washington, a high school senior with a big secret: she’s biracial. The Weight of Blood is my third novel by Tiffany D.
