This book was wonderful. It shows me what kind of education systeme that we have in our country and how racial tensions are still going on. This was one woman's journey of a year in a high school following 3 students during there senior year. The face many obstacles death, school fire, acceptance and growing up. I recommened this book to anyone and everyone.
