Review Quotes: "Based, per an author's note, on the childhood events of Mooradian's great-grandmother, this first-person story connects arrayed hues to a youth's flight during the Armenian genocide. . . . Establishing a new residence, the sisters paint the walls in colorful hues that remind them of loved ones and home, contributing to a vibrant, layered collage of the duo's experiences."--Publishers Weekly
