Kenny's family lives in Flint, Michigan. He has a thirteen year old brother, Byron, who has been labeled as a "juvenile delinquent." He is mean to his brother, but will defend him from bullies in the school. Byron keeps getting into trouble so his parents decided to take him to live with his grandmother in Alabama. As they travel south, they encounter racism especially when it came to restaurants and bathrooms. As the family was staying in Alabama, the church the grandmother attended was bombed and four girls were killed. This incident shook Kenny to the core. Thanks to his brother Byron, Kenny was able to come out of his depression.
