To Stella, it sort of evens out, and heck, the Klan has???t bothered them for years. But one late night, later than she should ever be up, much less wandering around outside, Stella and her little brother see something the???re never supposed to see, something that is the first flicker of change to come, unwelcome change by any stretch of the imagination. As Stell???s community--her world--is upended, she decides to fight fire with fire. And she learns that ashes do???t necessarily signify an end."--Publisher's web site.
