Literary Fiction
by Kiley Reid
When a young Black babysitter is accused of kidnapping the white toddler in her care, her well-intentioned employer Alix becomes uncomfortably entangled in the fallout. Reid's sharp debut dissects the performance of progressive values, exposing how race and class shape even our most intimate relationships. A propulsive exploration of complicity, appropriation, and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are.
