Such a fun age : a novel / Kiley Reid.
Alix Chamberlain is shocked when her babysitter, Emira Tucker, is confronted while watching the Chamberlains' toddler one night. Seeing a young black woman out late with a white child, a security guard accuses her of kidnapping two-year-old Briar. A small crowd gathers, a bystander films everything, and Emira is furious and humiliated. Alix resolves to make it right. When the video unearths someone from Alix's past, both women find themselves on a crash course that will upend everything they think they know about themselves, and each other.
