(3) YA In 1959 Virginia, an African American star student, Sarah, and her peers navigate racism and bigotry in the white high school they are desegregating. Amid battles for respect, Sarah befriends Linda, daughter of a vocal racist, and the two learn that their families are actually more alike than different. A plot twist regarding their friendship adds greater depth to the well-written historical story.
