Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Vivian Baxter was the firstborn of the Baxter children. Her father, a Trinidadian with a heavy Caribbean accent, had jumped from a banana boat in Tampa, Florida, and evaded immigration agents successfully all his life. He spoke often and loudly with pride about being an American citizen. #2 Vivian's father made her brothers tough, and she followed suit. She would lead them to the local park and make them watch as she climbed the highest tree. She would pick fights with the toughest boys in her neighborhood, never asking her brothers to help.
