YA
Preppy, biracial New Yorker Agnes ("Nes") lands in rural Georgia for the end of high school. The stark contrast between those settings is made palpable when the deep-seated racism of the South shows up at her doorstep. Amid a whirlwind, page-turning romance with "golden boy" Doyle, Nes fights to desegregate her school's prom in this dramatic story of modern bigotry.
