The Sacrifice by Joyce Carol Oates
After a Black teenage girl is found bound, bruised, and scrawled with slurs in a New Jersey town, her allegation of a racially charged assault by white men—including police—triggers a media frenzy and fractures the community. As her determined mother and opportunistic activists drive the case into the national spotlight, competing narratives, buried motives, and public hysteria collide, probing the fraught boundaries between victimhood, exploitation, and the elusive nature of truth.
