Theres the wall her mom has put up ever since Lilianas dad leftagain.
Theres the wall that delineates Lilianas diverse inner-city Boston neighborhood from Westburg, the wealthyand whitesuburban 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 towhitenup.
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 homehe cantand her whole family is in jeopardy. And when racial tensions at school reach a fever pitch, the walls that divide feel insurmountable.
