There are a lot of pressures in Mika's life, but (unlike many of her friends) Mika refuses to be afraid of her mind or body. Mika's big dream is to make change in her community and world, and she's not about to let anyone, especially a bigot, get in her way. Every Saturday, Mika wakes up at 4 AM and walks to the Whittier Baptist Church, where she volunteers with Mr. August, a widower in his late 40s. Together, they have been caretakers of the church's soup kitchen for years. The old Mika never really told Mr. August that she was a girl. So when she walks into the church hall one day with her hair tightly braided, a cropped leather jacket and a cute outfit, she knows he'll be shocked. Augustus Tolton is accustomed to shock.
