The novel takes her back and forth between these two worlds as she tries to figure out how to meld the two personas she uses to deal with her everyday situations. Her difficulty in dealing with the conflict of her childhood friend being killed by a police officer is the spine of the novel. She was the only other witness other than the police office that killed her unarmed friend, so her decision to tell the truth or not will possibly upend her community and may also endanger her life.]]> 2018-10-30 16:47:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tinbather/zgb6zxeqqvt9/wish/298619811 tinbather https://padlet.com/tinbather/zgb6zxeqqvt9/wish/298619931 How does an individual’s point of view affect the way he or she deals with conflict?
