The story takes ace in the 90's in Chauncey, Ohio. Marie lives with her father, a college professor, in a mostly black community. One day at school a new girl arrives. Lena is white and poor and Marie was asked to escort her that day. It only took a few days for them to figure out they would be good friends, despite the rest of the world. They both had lost their mother's: one to cancer and the other to wandering. Their friendship was good for both of them. One day Lena tells her a terrible secret. The kind that no one wants to hear or believe. The story is a good one with the struggle of fitting in and being accepted.
