A topical work that swept Europe and the United States, it was shortlisted for the National Book Award and ranked first in the New York Times book list for 36 consecutive weeks. Star, a black girl, lives with her family in a black residential area and makes a living by running a grocery store. One day, Starr met her childhood friend Kallio at a party. However, the sudden sound of gunfire interrupted the reminiscence, and Kallio drove Starr away from the scene. Police officer Cruise stopped them after hearing the sound. In the chaos, Cruise fired a gun as Kallio moved. Starr became a witness at the murder scene, and the police and the public wanted Starr to tell what happened. After struggling in every possible way, she decided to stand on the witness stand in court, but what Star didn't know was that everything she said would definitely become the beginning of a dispute.
