Zábavný román o následcích toho, když uděláme správnou věc ze špatných důvodů Mladá Emira to nemá lehké — nedaří se jí najít dobrou práci, má sotva na nájem a tak nějak neví, co se životem. Platit složenky jí pomáhá brigáda chůvy u rodiny Chamberlainových. Když jednou večer vyrazí se svou malou svěřenkyní do supermarketu, ochranka ji obviní z únosu. Proč? Protože dvouletá Briar je běloška, zatímco Emira je černoška. Jakmile se o incidentu dozví Briařina matka Alix, rozhodne se, že takovou nespravedlnost musí odčinit. Tím se rozehrává novodobá komedie mravů či spíše dobrých úmyslů — které však nemusí až tak dobře dopadnout. Dokáže Alix pochopit, že Emira není jen oběť rasismu, ale především žena z masa a kostí? A co se stane, když se v Emiřině životě objeví někdo z Alixiny minulosti?
