a sneak peak:Emira Tucker is a 25 year-old living in
Philadelphia with two part-time jobs (typist and babysitter) and no health
insurance. One night Alix, the mother of the child for whom she babysits, calls upon
her in an emergency, and Emira—clad in her “going out” clothes—takes the
toddler to a yuppie grocery store, only to be accused of kidnapping by a
security guard and fellow shopper.Emira and Alix’s lives,
although distinctly different, intersect in a wholly surprising way, raising
difficult questions about morality, forgiveness, race, class, and parenthood.
We
