DeâAndrea is heartbroken to leave her comfortable life in the Black oasis of Atlanta, she finds herself struggling to adjust to her new community. To ease the transition, her therapist proposes a challenge: make a white girlfriend. When Rebecca Myland learns about her new neighbors, the Whitmans, she's thrilled. As chair of the Parent Diversity Committee at her daughtersâ school, sheâs championed racial diversity in the communityâand what could be better than a brand-new Black family? Itâs serendipitous when her daughter, Isabella, and Nina become best friends on the first day of kindergarten. Now, Rebecca can put everything sheâs learned about antiracism into practiceâespecially those oh-so-informative social media posts, and the Parent Diversity Committee will finally have some, well, diversity. Following her therapistâs suggestion, DeâAndrea reluctantly joins Rebeccaâs committee. The painfully earnest white woman is so overly eager it makes DeâAndrea wonder if Rebeccaâs therapist told her to make a Black friend! When Rolling Hillâs rising racial sentiments bring the two women together in common cause, they find it isnât the only thing they have in common. 541 $d 20231201. 650 $a African Americans $v Fiction. 650 $a Life change events $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 650 $a Racism $v Fiction. 655 $a Literary fiction. 700 $a Greene, Catherine Wigginton, $e author. 941 $a 3 952 $l JSPB572 $d 20240323012947.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20240111011250.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20240110010019.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E5E32DC0AF8511EEB3273D3A42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
