Rebecca, Not Becky
by Christine Platt and Catherine Wigginton Greene - Fiction, Women's Fiction

De’Andrea Whitman, her husband Malik, and their five-year-old daughter, Nina, are new to the upper-crust white suburb of Rolling Hills, Virginia. To ease the transition, De’Andrea’s therapist proposes a challenge: make a white girlfriend. When Rebecca Myland learns about her new neighbors, she's thrilled. As chair of the Parent Diversity Committee at her daughters’ school, she’s championed racial diversity in the community. What could be better than a brand-new Black family? It’s serendipitous when her daughter, Isabella, and Nina become best friends on the first day of kindergarten. Following her therapist’s suggestion, De’Andrea reluctantly joins Rebecca’s committee. When Rolling Hill’s rising racial sentiments bring the two women together in common cause, they find it isn’t the only thing they have in common.
