The main theme in One Crazy Summer is about finding who you truly are, regardless the color of your face. The three sisters in this book undergo lots of horrible parental trauma, starting with their mother abandoning them when the oldest was no more than four. The book takes place the summer they're sent to meet her.
These "colored" sisters come to face challenges caused by discrimination and segregation. But they were not ashamed of their race. They kept living life. This to me, symbolizes great bravery and courage to be who your soul tells you you are, and nobody else.
