The Weight of Blood

"Maddy’s Southern town is getting ready to have its first integrated prom, which presents a huge problem for Maddy: She’s been passing for white at her father’s request even though she is biracial. When her true identity is revealed and she is the victim of a classmate’s cruel joke, her powers are revealed, and horror is close behind. A contemporary and prescient retake on Stephen King’s Carrie, Tiffany D. Jackson’s latest offering is a gripping page turner."
