This powerful book on anti-racism is essential reading for anyone who wants to do better. "The Black Friend is THE book everyone needs to read right now...Read it, absorb it, and be changed because of it. - Angie Thomas, author of The Hate U Give
After the fall of Summerland, Jane McKeene hoped her life would get simpler: Get out of town, stay alive, and head west to California to find her mother. But nothing is easy when you're a girl trained in putting down the restless dead, and a devastating loss on the road has Jane questioning everything she thought she knew about surviving in 1880s America. But she won't be in it alone. Katherine Deveraux never expected to be allied with Jane McKeene. Watching Jane's back, however, is more than she bargained for, and when they both reach a breaking point, it's up to Katherine to keep hope alive.
