Following two teen girls—one black, one white—it explores their confrontation with racial inequality as they navigate a violent race riot engulfing their city. Lena, with her killer style and ambition, believes she’s destined for greatness. In contrast, Campbell is simply trying to survive her new school year.

Despite their differences and lack of understanding, they must rely on each other to survive the night. This book is ideal for sparking conversations about prejudice and racial tension in America, as well as for parents and educators seeking multicultural and African American literature for teens.
