Description
When seventeen-year-old Avery moves to rural Georgia to live with her ailing grandmother, she encounters decade-old family secrets and a mystery surrounding the town's racist past.
Description
Avery Anderson is convinced her senior year is ruined when she's uprooted from her life in DC and forced to Bardell, Georgia, and into the hostile home of her terminally ill grandmother, Mama Letty. The tension between Avery's mom and Mama Letty makes for a frosty arrival and unearths past drama they refuse to talk about. Desperate to learn the secrets that split her family in two, Avery finds friendship in unexpected places: in Simone Cole, her next-door neighbor, and Jade Oliver, daughter of the town's most prominent family-- whose mother's murder remains unsolved. As the three girls grow closer, the sharp-edged opinions of their small southern town begin to hint at something insidious underneath. The racist history of Bardell is rooted in Avery's family, and she must decide if digging for the truth is worth toppling the relationships she's built. -- adapted from jacket
