Description
In a city where hope and danger share the same block, a young girl’s search for belonging collides with the realities of violence, community loyalty, and the stories people tell to survive. As tensions rise and loyalties are tested, she must navigate family pressures and neighborhood politics while deciding what it means to stand up for herself and for others. Blending vivid, street-level detail with emotionally resonant character work, this novel explores themes of identity, resilience, and the moral complexity of “doing the right thing” when the rules feel rigged. With Kekla Magoon’s sharp, accessible prose and a keen ear for voice, the story delivers a compelling, high-stakes coming-of-age journey that lingers long after the final page.
