In the Key of Us

Mariama J. Lockington

At Harmony Music Camp, Andi and Zora are the only Black girls, and others assume they will naturally become friends. The two are very different, however, and are required to spend time together. As they talk, each shares difficult parts of her life, including the pressure of performing, family concerns, and a secret involving self-harm. Their conversations create a growing friendship and suggest the possibility of a deeper connection. The story centers on loss, personal strain, and relationships that help people recover.
