      abstract = {Two women meet as freshmen at Barnard College in 1968.  Georgette George does not know what to make of her  brilliant, idealistic roommate, Ann Drayton, and her  obsessive disdain for the ruling class into which she was  born. She is mortified by Ann's romanticization of the  underprivileged class, which Georgette herself is hoping  college will enable her to escape. After the violent fight  that ends their friendship, Georgette wants only to forget  Ann and to turn her attention to the troubled runaway kid  sister who has reappeared after years on the road. Then, in  1976, Ann is convicted of murder. At first, Ann's fate  appears to be the inevitable outcome of her belief in the  moral imperative to "make justice" in a world where "there  are no innocent white people." But, searching for answers  to the riddle of this friend of her youth, Georgette finds  more complicated and mysterious forces at work. As the  novel's narrator, Georgette illuminates the terrifying life  of this difficult, doomed woman, and in the process  discovers how much their early encounter has determined her  own path, and why, decades later, as she tells us, "I have  never stopped thinking about her."--From publisher  description.},
