"Granofsky was widely known for her role as Lucy Hernandez in the hit series Degrassi, yet no one knew that a few years prior to landing her dream role she was bouncing between sleeping on a mattress with her Black mother in a housing project and eating Sunday dinner at a country club with her paternal Jewish grandparents, neither of whom accepted the other. With compassion and vivid storytelling, Granofsky shares her experiences of living with each foot in opposing worlds and explores generational grief and prejudice, and, in the end, love and acceptance."--Page 4 of cover.
