Description
A young, intersex rapper and artist, Ren Anonymous, gets sober on her sixteenth birthday, September 11th, 1994. That is also the first day of her junior year at New Horizons School, a small, diverse, alternative high school in Boston. During the course of the year, Ren makes friends with some of the other sober kids at school and learns to have fun without drugs and alcohol, for the first time since she was twelve years old. She is questioning her gender and sexuality, which is accepted at New Horizons School, but not so much in the rest of her life. Ren takes several fun classes, including Roots Of American Music, Improv, Intro To Drawing, Pottery, Communications, Health and Wellness, History Of Film, Psychology, World Religions, and an English class where they study the art, poetry, and music of the Harlem Renaissance. All of these classes, as well as the Diversity Committee at school, help Ren open her mind and prepare her for the unique path that she is meant to take.
