Description:

15 year-old Macey has been living in the same wealthy neighbourhood all her life - just down the road from her grandparents. Life is easy. But she doesn't know how lucky she is . . .Macey's eyes are about to be opened to the reality of race and conflict in modern America - when a secret from the past explodes into her life. Forty years ago there was a fire across the road from her own grandparents. A fire which never quite died down. A fire which drove a man out of town because of the colour of his skin. Were Macey's grandparents - warm, round and totally adorable - involved? The stench of smoke is everywhere - cloaking a conspiracy of silence with a gut-wrenching secret at its heart . . .
