Here goes ...
Toswiah Green. Evie Thomas. One girl. Two names. Two lives. When her police officer father witnesses two white cops killing a black boy, he makes the heart-wrenching decision to testify against his former friends. Overnight, thanks to the witness protection program, Toswiah becomes Evie, and she and her family leave their idyllic Denver, Colorado, life far behind. Toswiah's previously happy, lighthearted mother abruptly turns to religion, her big sister makes secret plans to escape the family, and her proud father collapses inward to a depressed, almost catatonic state. Adolescent Toswiah--now Evie--copes as best she can, taking up track and field in school, and trying to fathom who she is, and who she is becoming.
Jacqueline Woodson, Coretta Scott King Award-winning author of Miracle's Boys and many other highly acclaimed titles, delves deep into the confused hearts of a family that has lost its identity. Toswiah, as a young teenager, was already on the verge of shaping her identity as a young woman; with these shattering events, it takes every ounce of strength and courage to keep her core intact.

Why do you want a quick summary? Do you want someone else to do a assignment for you? Well just to let you know if a teacher suspects that you have plagiarized they have a computer program that can tell exactly how much was plagiarized. Finding this out will get you suspended and an E on the assignment. Plagiarism is taken VERY seriously.

Amazon can! May of their reviews are in near summary format. Take a look!

I suggest you read the book for yourself and don't ask others to do your assignments for you.
