(3) YA Opal, an African American high school senior, reexamines her life after her best friend (and first love) Marianne commits suicide. Hegamin alternates Opal's contemporary story with that of a runaway slave who died in the same ravine where Marianne was found. This quiet, sad book is peopled with interesting, complex characters.
