But what she discovers instead is a terrible secret that threatens to destroy her world in ways she could never have imagined. Because it transpires that Liberty is the staging ground for a group of Black people recruiting others to undergo a process to become white, forgetting their past lives and identities, in order to escape the trauma of their current existence.
