"Seventeen-year-old Tracy has 267 days to get her father, an innocent Black man, off death row. Every week she writes letters to Innocence X asking the organization to help, but she’s never heard back. When a classmate is killed, events propel Tracy to start her own investigation into her Texas town’s racist history. But will what she knows put her in danger, too? This Is My America is a page turner with all the bells and whistles: a love triangle, bad guys with guns, multiple unsolved murders, a ticking clock and a present-day Nancy Drew heroine. Tracy is a brave and dogged advocate for her friends, her family and the truth – a character sure to inspire activists of all ages who are interested in the pursuit of justice."
