won’t budge without Miss Millie, so Alice and Miss Millie walk him

finally able to express her heartache over her father’s desertion; and

when Miss Millie tells her family story, Alice begins to understand the

even enables her to laugh again

drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone

person alive who can answer that is Starr. But what Starr does—or

does not—say could upend her community. It could also endanger
