Desiree Adler does not want a girlfriend. Why would she? She has a demanding career as a photographer and content creator, an eccentric but supportive family, and a huge responsibility as a foster parent to a teenager named Hope. Desi's life is just fine the way it is. Why risk another heartbreak? However, Desi's sister is annoyingly persistent and when she arranges a blind date for Desi, it's less trouble to agree, get it over with, and return to normal life. The blind date is every bit as terrible as predicted. So why can't Desi stop thinking about Soledad Reyes? If Desi has any hope of finding balance in life, she must help Hope confront the ghosts of her past, while confronting her own assumptions about race, power, and identity in the present.
