Upon entering the South, Milanne is shocked to learn that her mother is taking in a Jewish refugee with a dark past. Along with all the changes in her life, Milanne suffers from more discrimination than she ever dealt with up North and spirals into a dark haven of self conciousness, shame, anger and depression.
