Emira is the beloved babysitter of Briar, a little girl she adores. One late evening, she is summoned by her employer to take Briar out of the house after some vandalism prompts a call to the police. That night, Emira is accused of kidnapping Briar by a security card prompted by a white woman who observes them. After a minor confrontation, Briar's dad comes by and resolves the issue. Briar's mom, however, it horrified and realizes she has done little to support he sitter. She starts on a campaign of "caring" that mostly irritates Emira. In the meantime, Emira also gets a boyfriend. A good looking white guy, he works very hard to prove how "woke" he is. Inevitably the white employer and white love interest take center stage both convinced they know what is best for Emira. Does this become a book about the white people? Well, not really but I won't tell you how it ends up. Enjoyable listening.
