YouTube Description
as posted by the channelUnless something changes, Tracy Beaumont’s father will be dead in less than a year. A Black man wrongfully convicted of murder, he waits on death row in Texas. Tracy’s life already feels like it’s at a breaking point—and then her older brother, Jamal, is accused of killing a white girl. As she tries to parse what really happened, Tracy reckons with the fatal consequences of a violently racist past and present. Inspired by Johnson’s years of anti-racist organizing, this stunning debut novel is a clear testament to the power of collective action. Ages 12 and up.
In conversation with YA author Nic Stone.
