Alex, meanwhile, struggles to keep her younger sisters out of trouble, her mother sane, and her marketing business afloat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow Alex has a new responsibility: from his hospital bed, her father tasks her with finding Kara, the mixed-race child he abandoned.

When Alex eventually finds her half-sister, she becomes embroiled in Kara's dangers, which threaten to drag them both down. If Kara doesn't help the FBI, she could face prosecution and possible incarceration, and if Alex can't persuade Kara to meet their father, she will let him down during the final days of his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet in Harlem, the Bronx, and the wealthy community of Bedford, New York, during two weeks in March, \u003ci\u003eGetting It Right\u003c\/i\u003e explores grit and resilience, evolving definitions of race and family, and the ultimate power of redemption and forgiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Akashic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47041909031152,"sku":"9781617755385","price":11.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781617755385_p0.jpg?v=1763854285","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781617755385","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
