Description
Violet Rue Kerrigan, una mujer joven, recuerda su vida en el exilio de su familia luego de su testimonio, a los doce años, sobre lo que sabía que era el asesinato racista de un niño afroamericano por sus hermanos mayores. En una sucesión de episodios vívidamente recordados, Violet contempla las circunstancias de su vida como la hija menor inicialmente amada de siete hijos de Kerrigan que inadvertidamente "informa" sobre sus hermanos, poniendo en marcha sus arrestos y condenas y su propio largo distanciamiento.
