In Becky, A tale of two girls, we follow the unlikely relationship between a Black girl named Becky, and her neighbor, a troubled White girl named Rebeca. They both share a love for basketball, as most Hoosiers do, and also as a way for them to get out, from the conditions that their society had already instituted for them.

The story is an intimate portrait of an almost 40-year sisterhood between Becky, Rebeca, and their Indian friend named Sarah Blackfoot.
