1968年，11岁的女孩达芙妮带着两个妹妹前往加州的奥克兰，和当年抛弃她们的母亲生活。女孩们对母亲充满了各种幻想，亲切的笑容，温暖的怀抱，香喷喷的饭菜、欢乐的迪士尼之旅……然而母亲似乎并不想和她们有任何瓜葛，她只关心自己的工作，把她们留在了一个黑豹党的夏令营。在这个难忘的夏日里，女孩们逐渐理解了妈妈，也发现了自我。
幽默、善良、童真，达芙妮用孩子的方式看待着历史的变迁、黑人与白人的差异，明白了什么是社会变革，也懂得了家庭的意义。她告诉小读者们，人应该听从自己的内心，而不是宣传的标语或是教条的命令。

| 內容簡介： |
In a compelling story about three sisters who go to Oakland,
CA, in 1968, to meet the mother who abandoned them, acclaimed
author Rita Williams-Garcia writes with insight and humor about
family, politics, and identity. Eleven-year-old Delphine is like a
mother to her two younger sisters, Vonetta and Fern. When they
arrive on the West Coast, their mother decides that they will
attend a summer camp each day run by the Black Panthers, while they
wonder what really goes on at home in her kitchen, where she runs
her own printing press.
