When this story begins, Kenya Curtis is eight. She lives with her mother and father in West Philadelphia. Her father, Johnbrown, is a self-described housepainter and philosopher, and her mother, Sheila, is a librarian (yay!).Johnbrown and Sheila are part of an activist group of like-minded friends that call themselves the Seven Days. They have taken the name of the group from Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon, and their aim is to advocate for their black neighbors against the injustices they see around them. As the story progresses, and Kenya grows, the group itself, and Kenya's parents find their aims and goals changing and unraveling. Kenya has to find a way to navigate her own life when those around her become, in a variety of ways, unreliable.
