Fourteen-year-old Lily's entire life revolves around vague memories of the day her mother was murdered. The girl lives in South Carolina with her black nanny Rosalyn and her cruel father, who forces Lily to stand on corn for hours for every offense.
One day, Rosalyn crosses paths with three of the most inveterate racists in town. They plan to arrest the woman and make her life hell. Then Lily decides it's time for them to run away: she from her despotic father, Rosalyn from racial injustice.
Their path leads them to Tiburon, a town that holds the secret of Lily's mother's past. But is she ready to learn the truth and expose a lie that is as sweet as honey but as deadly as poison?
