DeAndrea Whitman, her husband Malik, and their five-year-old daughter, Nina, are new to the upper-crust white suburb of Rolling Hills, Virginiaa move motivated by circumstance rather than choice. DeAndrea is heartbroken to leave her comfortable life in the Black oasis of Atlanta, and between her mother-in-laws Alzheimer's diagnosis, her daughter starting kindergarten, and the overwhelming whiteness of Rolling Hills, 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.

And finally, the Parent Diversity Committee will have some well, diversity.Following her therapists suggestion, DeAndrea reluctantly joins Rebeccas committee.
