Family Tree

This is a book about family relationships. Specifically what happens when a white, upper class couple with roots back to the Mayflower on one side, have a black baby. Barbara Delinsky is a master story teller and this is just the type of story she does well. Unfortunatley in this case it seems a little flat and just not as good as her normal writing is. It's still an interesting story with interesting characters who ring true. Just to me it didn't seem as good as her usual.
