A brutal attack of a nursing student in a women's restroom of a local college generated a series of events that lead to a tragic ending. This novel explores the legal system, race, and personal relationships. The failure of some inner-city parents to properly raise their children resulting in dropouts and crime. The veil of racism that hangs over most blacks in this country.
