Book Synopsis
Twelve-year-old Inez Ruth Eaton-Martinez is a bright Afro-Latina homeschooler whose life in a predominantly white space has always felt steady-until she's introduced to a vibrant community of color that forces her to question everything she thought she knew about identity. As she navigates this new world, her once-unbreakable bond with her best friend Connie begins to fray, leaving Inez torn between loyalty and self-discovery. Meanwhile, her easy friendship with Ryan grows increasingly complicated, making her question if their connection is more than just platonic. With Jade, a bold new friend unafraid to push boundaries, and Stephen, whose secrets stir tension, Inez's journey is anything but smooth. Balancing faith, friendship, and belonging, Inez faces a revelation that threatens to upend her world. Can she rise to the challenge and embrace who she's meant to be, or will the pressure become too much to bear?
