Angel's brother, Jimmy, believed in education and non violence. It is through him and her teacher that she began to learn about the civil rights movement. As things began to escalate and change she found herself changing and maturing . The reader watches her struggle to understand racial prejudice. As she matured she realized change is inevitable and she joined in the effort to bring it about peacefully. Unfortunately, she became a victim of police brutality. A school friend was murdered and the young man she fell in love with was brutally attacked. Her reaction to all this would be what will shape her future.
I found reading this book to be an incredible experience. The characters are faced with wrenching personal choices and the author skillfully presents them. This was a sensitive time in history and Mr. Theunissen writes with sensitivity. I highly recommend reading this book.
