When an impoverished school district loses its accreditation as well as the affluent community of Crystal Ridge has no choice but to open their school doorways, the lives of three completely different females converge: Camille Gray–the wife of the about NO-ONE Ever Asked: A Novel executive, mom of three, long-standing PTA chairwoman and champion fundraiser–faced using a shocking discovery that threatens to tear her picture-perfect world aside at the seams. Jen Covington, the profession nurse whose lengthy, painful trip to motherhood finally led to adoption but she is struggling with a happily-ever-after a lot harder than she expected. Twenty-two-year-old Anaya Jones–the first female in her family members to graduate university and a brand new teacher at Crystal Ridge’s best elementary school, unprepared for the powder-keg circumstance she’s stepped into. Tensions rise within and without, culminating within an unforeseen event that influences them all. This tale explores the implicit biases impacting American culture, and asks the ultimate question: What does it mean to be individual? What makes we so quick to place labels on each other and categorize people as ‘this’ or ‘that’, when such complexity exists in each person?
