When fourteen-year-old Francie befriends Ruthie, a black girl, amidst the rampant prejudice of their small town in 1960s Alabama, she sufferers greatly from the gruesome harassment of her white peers.

Wake

Plot: "Your Dreams Are Not Your Own."
For seventeen-year-old Janie, getting sucked into other people's dreams is getting old. Especially the falling dreams, the naked-but-nobody-notices dreams, and the naughty dreams. Janie's seen enough fantasy booty to last her a lifetime. She can't tell anybody about what she does- they'd never believe her, or worse, they'll think she's a freak. So Janie lives on the fringe, cursed with an ability she doesn't want and can't control.
Than she falls into a gruesome nightmare, one that chills her to the bone. For the first time, Janie is more than a witness to someone else's twisted psyche. She is a participant. . . . . . .
