The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed.Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil’s name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr.But what Starr does—or does not—say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.Zoe Book's music is licensed by BMI Featured songs: 2Pac-They Don't Give a F**K about Us.Michael Jackson-They Don't Really Care about Us. 2pac-Dear Moma.No Weapon Formed Against Thee Shall Prosper 2nd edition: ebook on sale now @ B&N and Amazon!Audio, hardcover, & paperback books on sale summer 2024!
