Overview
From debut author Pamela Harris comes a timely, gripping teen novel about a boy who must take up the search for his sister when she goes missing from a neighborhood where black girlsā disappearances are too often overlooked. Perfect for fans of Jason Reynolds and Tiffany D. Jackson.
When you look like usābrown skin, brown eyes, black braids or fadesāeveryone else thinks youāre trouble. No one even blinks twice over a missing black girl from public housing because she mustāve brought whatever happened to her upon herself. I, Jay Murphy, can admit that, for a minute, I thought my sister Nicole just got caught up with her boyfriendāa drug dealerāand his friends. But sheās been gone too long. Nic, where are you?
If I hadnāt hung up on her that night, she would be at our house, spending time with Grandma.
If I was a better brother, sheād be finishing senior year instead of being another name on a missing persons list.
Itās time to step up, to do what the Newport News police department wonāt.
Bring her home.
