5.0

This is such an excellent book. Especially as a white woman learning activism, and being an ally. 

This book parallels the human rights and political struggles we face today, and takes a real look at the ripple effect your actions can have, both positive and negative. 

The characters are all flawed, just as we are in life, and they don't win every battle, but through this story you can take away a little piece of hope. 

TW: Drugs and alcohol abuse, sexual assault, racism, death of a loved one, incarceration.
