Out of My Skin by Tessa McWatt

Tessa McWatt's debut novel follows Daphne, a young woman of mixed race raised by white adoptive parents in Toronto, who moves to Montreal to search for her birth family. Set during the tense summer of the 1990 Oka crisis, her search leads her to her grandfather's diaries from 1960s British Guiana. Along the way she discovers unexpected connections, and she comes to question what it means to belong. A thoughtful Canadian novel about identity, family and home, by the Guyanese-born, Toronto-raised author of Shame on Me.
