Seventeen-year-old Jo Kuan is a maid for the spoiled daughter of one of Atlanta's wealthiest men, but by night Jo writes as Miss Sweetie for a newspaper advice column. When Jo's "Dear Miss Sweetie" articles become popular, she begins to use her pen-power to address society's ills, particularly challenging ideas about gender and race, drawing a backlash and attempts to uncover her real identity. Then, Atlanta's most notorious criminal gets on Jo's trail, and she will have to decide on standing up for her beliefs or remaining in the shadows of anonymity.
