As the only Black employee at Wagner, a prestigious publishing house, Nella thrills at the arrival of Hazel, another Black colleague. Nella has just begun to enjoy having a Black peer at Wagner when a string of unsettling events prompt her to question herself, Hazel, and everyone around them. In this dark office thriller, Harris pushes readers to contemplate representation, racism, and intersectionality, asking whether corporations and allies will support diversity when it's not just in theory.
