After sixteen-year-old Kate and her family move from New York to Tennessee, she helps protest her new school's mascot--the Rebels--and the Confederate flag. When her sister is shot, Kate writes a play (reproduced in the book) about the situation. The story suffers from some uneven writing but presents its subject matter in an unconventional way.
