Preface

Starr walks a fine line between two worlds: the poor neighbourhood where she grew up and the expensive school her parents have sent her to. In each world she is a different person. Then after a party she is the sole witness to the shooting of one of her oldest friends by a police officer. If Starr decides to speak up her voice could help make a difference to the lives of those she loves but it could also put her own life in danger.
