Leilah asked Kelly Quindlen:

Hi, I'm from Louisiana too, but that is not what my question is about the characters of her name in the sky. I was wondering if any of them were poc's in the novel? You didn't describe them as any one race and I know it is up to interpretation, but I think it is important for authors themselves to clarify. Anyway I am hopeful for your answer.

Kelly Quindlen Hi Leilah! I'm thrilled to hear you're from Louisiana :)

Yes, Baker is half-Lebanese through her mother's side; her dad is white. The others are white - mostly German-Scotch-Irish, with Clay and Luke having Cajun heritage.
