Description
Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter straddles two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the upscale prep school she attends. Her life is upended when she witnesses the police shooting of her childhood friend, Khalil. Unarmed, Khalil’s death becomes national news, with some calling him a thug, drug dealer, or gangbanger. Protesters take to the streets in his name, while Starr and her family face threats from both law enforcement and local drug lords.
The truth of what happened that night is known only by Starr, and what she decides to reveal could change everything. Her words may not only shake her community but also put her own life at risk.
