(2) YA In a country whose history includes the enslavement of white citizens by black citizens, Sephy Hadley, one of the privileged black "Crosses," and Callum McGregor, a white "naught," tell their story of trying to love and understand each other in a society that condemns interracial dating. This compelling thriller challenges readers to examine their assumptions about race, class, and political allegiances.
