Starr Carter ha sedici anni e vive divisa tra due Garden Heights, il quartiere popolare segnato da violenza e gang, e il liceo privato frequentato per lo più da ragazzi bianchi e benestanti, dove studia grazie ai sacrifici della famiglia. Per adattarsi, Starr modula linguaggio, stile e amicizie, cercando ogni giorno di mantenere un equilibrio fragile. Tutto cambia quando assiste all'uccisione di Khalil, l'amico di sempre, colpito da un poliziotto. I media diffondono notizie false e lo descrivono come un delinquente, ma lei sa chi era davvero e cosa è accaduto. Nel clima acceso di proteste e tensioni che investono la città, Starr sa che una sua testimonianza potrebbe fare la differenza, ma anche mettere in pericolo se stessa e la sua famiglia. Una storia di coraggio e denuncia contro il silenzio e la paura, un romanzo potente sul movimento Black Lives Matter e sulla lotta al razzismo, divenuto un caso editoriale e cinematografico internazionale.
