Overview
In the vein of Such a Fun Age, a whip-smart, compulsively readable novel about two upper-class stay-at-home mothersāone white, one Blackāliving in a "perfect" suburb that explores motherhood, friendship, and the true meaning of sisterhood amidst the backdrop of Americaās all-too-familiar racial reckoning.
DeāAndrea Whitman, her husband Malik, and their five-year-old daughter, Nina, are new to the upper-crust white suburb of Rolling Hills, Virginiaāa move motivated by circumstance rather than choice. DeāAndrea is heartbroken to leave her comfortable life in the Black oasis of Atlanta, and between her mother-in-lawās Alzheimer's diagnosis, her daughter starting kindergarten, and the overwhelming whiteness of Rolling Hills, she finds herself struggling to adjust to her new community. To ease the transition, her therapist proposes a challenge: make a white girlfriend.
Ā When Rebecca Myland learns about her new neighbors, the Whitmans, she's thrilled. As chair of the Parent Diversity Committee at her daughtersā school, sheās championed racial diversity in the communityāand what could be better than a brand-new Black family? Itās serendipitous when her daughter, Isabella, and Nina become best friends on the first day of kindergarten. Now, Rebecca can put everything sheās learned about antiracism into practiceāespecially those oh-so-informative social media posts. And finally, the Parent Diversity Committee will have someā¦ well, diversity.Ā
Ā Following her therapistās suggestion, DeāAndrea reluctantly joins Rebeccaās committee. The painfully earnest white woman is so overly eager it makes DeāAndrea wonder if Rebeccaās therapist told her to make a Black friend! But when Rolling Hillās rising racial sentiments bring the two women together in common cause, they find it isnāt the only thing they have in common. . . .
