12+. When Toswiah Green's policeman father testifies against a fellow
officer in a murder case, the Greens are forced to give up all traces and
memories of their past. Now Toswiah is Evie Thomas, and that is only the
least of the changes. Her defeated father spends his days sitting by the
window. Since her mother can no longer work as a teacher, she puts her
energy into their new church. Her only sister is making secret plans to
leave. And Evie, struggling to find her way in a new place where the kids
aren't friendly and the terrain is as unfamiliar as her name, wonders who
she is and how she can make her future as bright as her past once was.
