Hiding out, she witnesses a murder and finds herself dealing with problems far greater than whether or not her parents will stay together. Should she go to the police and tell them what she saw? Would they believe a fourteen-year-old black girl even if she did go to them? How could she ever trust the police after what happened between them and her father when she was younger?This story explores homelessness, prejudice, unexpected friendships and our need to accept a situation without trying to control it.
