Theo is a poor White man trying to live in a rich person's world and came into the neighborhood already failing. but things are just NOT adding up and she really has no one to turn to as she tries to navigate through her days. Sydney is a strong Black woman whose past makes her think that what she is witnessing may just be in her head. Mainly we are introduced to Sydney and Theo. She also brings us very complex characters. How seamlessly she threads this into this novel is nothing short of impressive. Not only does Cole deliver us a heart wrenching thriller, she also teaches us all a historical lesson that is absolutely timely and something we should be paying attention to.
