I found this story to be interesting to read.I really like it.This story is about two girls named Roberta and Twyla.Roberta is white and Twyla is black.They first met each other at St. Bonaventure orphanage because both of their mothers dump them there.Twyla had been place in the orphanage because her mother seem to be crazy.As for Roberta,her mother is sick.Roberta and Twyla seem to get along pretty well because they seem to be the outsiders.It is because they not the real orphans like the other kids.I like how this story show the readers that no matter what races you are,you can be friends with someone that have different race than yourself.One should not judge the other by how they look or by their race.One should get to know the person better before judging that person.
