Two teens grapple with the repercussions of a single violent act that leaves their school, their community, and, ultimately, the country bitterly divided by racial tension.
Searing, challenging novel about an incident of police brutality, told through the eyes of two young men at the same high school: the victim and a bystander who witnesses it. Powerfully written.
