About a bi-racial girl(half-black),raised by her white father and stepmother and passed off as white.She has lily white shin,gray eyes,and her father's red hair.Her father makes passes at her,tries to rape her,and beats her for any little thing,because every time he looks at her,he remembers that he had an affair.
The girl endures all this,until she's 12 years old and her father,nearly kills her.Her stepmother takes her to the hospital,where the doctor rants that the girl's tail bone is fractured and he's going to call the law,because she's been beaten.His exact words are,"What in the H*ll have you been hitting this kid with?Or maybe you just threw her down the da*n stairs!"
The girl is sent to another state to live with her great grandmother and older half-sister,who ran away years ago.While there she notices that some young men are doing odd jobs for her great grandmother and seem very curious about her.Often eavesdropping on conversations between her and her half sister.Finally they ask her what her name is,she lies a little and tells then her nickname.One day she notices that one of the boys has dropped his Bill fold.Inside she sees a picture that looks a lot like she did as a baby.She returns the bill fold at their home and feels quite uncomfortable,while she's there.Since,the boy's mom keeps staring at her.The woman asks her what her dad's name is and asks her to tell him that "Peaches" says Hello.
Back at home she tells her grandmother and is given the third degree about the woman.
