So what if she changes the way she talks? So what if she's seeing her neighborhood in a different way? But then light is shed on some hard truths: It isn't that her father doesn't want to come home--he can't...and her whole family is in jeopardy. And when racial tensions at school reach a fever pitch, the walls that divide feel insurmountable. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut a wall isn't always a barrier. It can be a foundation for something better.
