Deja, dix ans, commence la cinquième année dans une nouvelle école. Les choses sont difficiles à la maison : Pop est toujours malade et triste, Ma est toujours au travail et Deja s'occupe toujours de son petit frère et de sa petite sœur pendant que Pop dort. Sa nouvelle école est différente de n'importe où ailleurs Deja a été, et l'éducation de l'histoire récente que Deja reçoit changera sa vie et celle de ses amis et de sa famille pour toujours.
Les élèves peuvent créer une carte des personnages pour suivre les personnages de Towers Falling de Jewell Parker Rhodes et comment ils changent tout au long de l'histoire.
