Meanwhile, Evie begins to realize that her friendship with new girl June might be something more, but she's afraid of what everyone will think. Finally, she tells her friends Maggie and Katie, and they help her get to St. Augustine's - where Evie gets a terrible shock, and the truth, finally, from her parents.
Afterward, Evie finds the strength to question authority, be her authentic self, and honor her sister publicly.
The Morgan family is coded white; June is dark-skinned, and she and her mother are atheist.

It didn't feel like me saying the words. I felt like someone else, someone proud of who she was.
Someone who wasn't ashamed of what other people thought.
I acted the way I wanted to be. Because maybe then, this bravery will start to feel more natural. (285)
It happened. It'll never be over, but it did happen. (296)
It was the first time I'd asked an honest question and they'd given me an honest answer in a long time. Maybe ever. (305)… (más)
