When it comes to her own self-interests, that's a different story. When Sophie takes on a new client-helping an elementary school in a conservative, rural state work through an open display of racism-she's ready for battle.

When their new equity consultant turns out to be one of the most influential people of Benita's past-and her first crush-everything becomes much more difficult. It's preposterous to think that after so many years they'd still have anything in common. But Sophie and Benita's intense connection rekindles and heads toward a conflict of interest, risking the well-being of students, families, and their community.Sophie and Benita take on external pressures and professional hurdles, while wrestling with hardships from their past. Their shared journey hints at the promise of something more, but will their past issues and outside forces drive them apart?
