Kalayla is a bi-racial girl determined to teach adults a thing or two. Her mother, Maureen, has been disowned by her Irish family and works as a waitress. Their Italian landlady, a widow, is retiring as CEO of her family's business.\u003cbr\u003e Their deepening friendships provide a scaffolding of support and show the transformative power of connection as they each risk new adventures with laughter and courage. Their stories touch on race, sexuality, marital abuse, exasperations of adolescence, single motherhood, and self-discovery.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Personal Disclosure\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I had a first-time experience that was startling and unsettling while I was writing \u003ci\u003eKalayla, \u003c\/i\u003ethe first edition of \u003ci\u003eKalaya Unraveling Tangles\u003c\/i\u003e.
