Summary: Fifteen-year-old Macey is spending the summer near her grandparents' quiet Connecticut town when a history project leads her to a barn that burned across the street decades ago. Nobody wants to talk about who set the fire, or why. As she digs into the past and loses someone close to her, Macey confronts racism in the town she loves, in her own family and in herself, and learns what it costs to look away.
