After her grandmother passes, Shania 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. Catherine, the school's queen bee, unexpectedly takes Shania under her wing. Prescott, the golden boy, seems perfect... except for the disturbing rumors about an altercation he had with a Black student who left the school. When terrible truths comes to light, Shania will have to make a choice and face the violence of her silence. -- adapted from jacket |
