Sixteen-year-old Jack has rejected being part of an interracial family and identifies only with his Native American heritage. But Arilla, also part African American and part Native American, isn't so sure where she belongs.   She knows there are people who care about her. Old James False Face tells her stories. Her mom, who's as beautiful as a queen, wants Arilla to learn to dance. And her classmate Angel Diovalad, the star of the girls' basketball team, tells her secrets about the boy she loves, whom she meets with on the sly.   Arilla also has secrets: She sneaks out to the roller rink to practice figure skating. And she's afraid of horses. But she's about to discover her inner courage on a daring rescue mission that will transform her relationship with her family and earn her the name Arilla Sun Down.
