THE GIRL IN THE MIDDLE
Growing Up Between Black and White, Rich and Poor
When Anais Granofsky's parents meet in the early 1970s, they are foreign and fascinating to each other. Stanley is the son of a wealthy Jewish family; Jean is from a poor Black Methodist family. When Jean becomes pregnant at nineteen, Stanley is cut off by his parents, and will find his calling in the spiritual teachings of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh on an ashram in India.
Anais spends her life navigating between two very different worlds. Alone, Anais and her mother teetered on the poverty line, while she spent weekends with her grandparents in their mansion twentyminutes away. It isn't until she gets a role in the TV series Degrassi Junior High that Anais finds a third world --her own --and begins to define an identity for herself.
The Girl in the Middle is a tale of two vastly different families and the granddaughter they shared and clashed over. As Anais shares her experiences growing up in opposing worlds, she offers a heartwrenching exploration of generational trauma, love, shame, grief, and prejudice --and essential insight for healing and acceptance.
ANAIS GRANOFSKY is a Canadian actress, screenwriter, producer, and director, best known for portraying Lucy Fernandez in Degrassi Junior High.
