A searing and compassionate look at a broken education system from Dominique Morisseau.
Nya, a single mom and dedicated teacher at a high-poverty city school, is determined to give her teenaged son Omari opportunities even though the educational system is rigged against him and her students will never have those same opportunities. But an altercation with a teacher at his private school threatens Omari’s future, and Nya has to battle a system that’s against him in any environment.
