Book Description
When white school teacher Amanda is pushed to the ground by black student Jason, she’s reluctant to report him, she knows exclusion could condemn him to a future as troubled as his past. But when Jason decides to protect himself by spinning a story of his own, Amanda is sucked into a vortex of lies in which victim becomes perpetrator.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Outstanding… Franzmann manages to make all the characters credible and well-rounded, even the damaged perpetrator… She gets to the rotten core of what’s going on in these melting-pot battlegrounds… The play of the year? In my book, quite possibly. –Telegraph
