Description

Twelve-year-old Marie is a leader a few of the popular black girls in Chauncey, Ohio, a prosperous black suburb. She isn’t searching for a friend when Lena Bright, a white girl, appears in school. Yet they’re drawn to one another because both have lost their mothers. And they know the way to keep a secret. For Lena has a secret that may be terrifying, and she’s desperate to give protection to herself and her younger sister from their father. Marie should come to a decision whether she can help Lena by keeping her secret…or by telling it.
Two girls: one white, one black; one abused, one secure, both missing their mothers. An unlikely friendship ignites between the two, and, in sharing their differences, both of their lives are transformed. Jacqueline Woodson won a Coretta Scott King Honor for this moving, tightly written tale of friendship, racism, and loss. In a starred review, The Horn Book calls it a “haunting and beautifully poetic novel.”
