Synopsis

This amazing collaboration brings together two inspirational Black artists, NYT bestselling author Ashley Woodfolk and actress Lexi Underwood, for a story about the transformative power of art as protest and its capacity to change the world.When Jordyn Jones transfers to Edgewood High, it's her opportunity to forget everything that happened at her old school. To forget what she and her friends did. To forget who she used to be. That was a different person - this is a fresh start. Now she's someone new, someone better.Except it's the very first day of school, and somehow everyone already seems to know who she is. But Jordyn soon finds a group of friends, and she even starts talking to Izaiah, a soccer star who shares her love of art. Life is good. That's until an anonymous podcast called Tomcat Tea begins revealing humiliating secrets about Edgewood students, ruining their reputations and in some cases their futures. Jordyn and her friends know they have to do something-and this is Jordyn's chance to prove to herself that she's changed.Jordyn's plan to take down the podcast throws her into the spotlight, and as the momentum builds, so do the risks-because Jordyn has a secret of her own, one that could ruin everything . . . and that a mysterious harasser online is threatening to expose.With riveting prose, New York Times bestselling author Ashley Woodfolk and acclaimed actress Lexi Underwood balance an insightful depiction of the power of art as protest with asking some of the biggest questions facing teenagers today-in an era where mistakes can be picked over endlessly online, who is worthy of forgiveness? Can someone ever really change?
