For fans of I'm Not Dying with You Tonight, this gripping YA novel
digs into the historical and present-day effects of white supremacy and
the depths of privilege.
Shania never thinks much about being white. But after her beloved
grandmother passes, she moves to the gentrifying town of Blue Rock and
is thrust into Bard, the city's wealthiest private school. At Bard, race
is both invisible and hypervisible, and Shania's new friends are split
on what they see. There's Catherine, the school's queen bee, who
unexpectedly takes Shania under her wing. Then there's Prescott, the
golden boy who seems perfect...except for the disturbing rumors about an
altercation he had with a Black student who left the school.
But Prescott isn't the only one with secrets. As Shania grieves for the
grandmother she idolized, she realizes her family roots stretch far back
into Blue Rock's history. When the truth comes to light, Shania will
have to make a choice and face the violence of her silence.
