But when family secrets spill out and racism at school ramps up, she must decide what she believes in and take a stand.Liliana Cruz is a hitting a wall--or rather, walls. Theres the wall her mom has put up ever since Lilianas dad left--again. Theres the wall that delineates Lilianas diverse inner-city Boston neighborhood from Westburg, the wealthy--and white--suburban high school shes just been accepted into. And theres the wall Liliana creates within herself, because to survive at Westburg, she cant just lighten up, she has to whiten up. So what if she changes her name? So what if she changes the way she talks? So what if shes seeing her neighborhood in a different way? But then light is shed on some hard truths: It isnt that her father doesnt want to come home--he cant...and her whole family is in jeopardy. And when racial tensions at school reach a fever pitch, the walls that divide feel insurmountable. But a wall isnt always a barrier. It can be a foundation for something better. And Liliana must choose: Use this foundation as a platform to speak her truth, or risk crumbling under its weight.
